<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Thanks David, the original application is Accounting for Delphi. It does, as best as I can determine, "remember" last screen size/position. <div>I can not start the other programs (modules) although the task manager says they are running.</div><div>The curious thing, to me, is that when I start the 'real' main menu, the splash screen appears, the user id/pw screen appears and the "main" menu screen appears. I even moved the main menu to a different screen position and when I restarted the app the main menu appeared where I had placed it. But when I select another program/module from that main menu that program does show.</div><div>So I'm still at a lost as to what to do.</div><div>Charlie</div><div><br><br>--- On <b>Sat, 5/14/11, David O'Brien <i><Dave@iccs.co.nz></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255);

My computer died and I borrowed my son's laptop which has Vista. I installed Delphi 2007 with the 3rd party controls, copied my program (.pas files) and recompiled my program. Actually I did this
with two programs. The second one runs both within the IDE and outside the IDE. The first program will load the main form (outside of the IDE) but when I click a button to open another form which is data dependent the form doesn't show. Actually the application has exe's that are called in the onclick event of the buttons; for example order entry, inventory, customer add/edit, etc. I click the order entry button and task manager shows the exe is running; however the form doesn't show on the laptop.</p><div><p class="yiv2101212451MsoNormal">I sincerely appreciate any suggestions.</p></div><div><p class="yiv2101212451MsoNormal">Charlie </p></div></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="yiv2101212451MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif";"> </span></p></div></div><br>-----Inline Attachment Follows-----<br><br><div class="plainMail">_______________________________________________<br>NZ Borland Developers Group -
