[DUG] basic question

[Conor Boyd]

I'll say it again: no you won't. ;-)

I'll clarify my posting for you.

If you tried what the original poster said (I'm using D2006), and
recreated it (i.e. create two forms, make the second one not
autocreated, add a method to the second form with a simple ShowMessage
in it, and call that method on the object reference for the form), you
will definitely not get an AV.

Using the references in your line below, you can happily invoke a method
on your FormB variable with no AVs - if, as Myles said, there is no code
in that method that refers to instance properties, fields, etc.

E.g.
In your project source the following will (maybe surprisingly) not AV:
begin
	Application.Initialise;
	Application.CreateForm(TFormA, FormA);
	FormB.SomeMethodThatOnlyCallsShowMessage;
	Application.Run;
end;

Maybe the compiler has inlined it or something, I don't know.

Yes I do ;) 

if you don't have
  Application.CreateForm(TFormB, FormB); in your project source you will
have AV
