the app doesn't appear outside or inside the IDE. When it isn't running
then it appears. Can't believe I've spent 12 hours dealing with this
because of Google/Vista ugh<br>

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="yiv683604944msonormal3">I sincerely appreciate any suggestions.</p></div><div><p
