You should be able to create it in the OnShow event. I've just done exactly
that with one of my apps.
Make sure that the child form isn't getting auto created. ie: Your MDI
container should be the only form that gets auto created when you run the
application.

Subject: [DUG]: I wish I didn't have to but...
I have an MDI app... The MDI container comes up at app login...
There are a number of different MDI child form types 1 of which I would like
to appear at startup - currently this form is created by clicking on a
toolbarbutton
attached to an action...
If this is placed in the onShow of the MDI container... I get "Cannot create
form. No MDI forms are active"...
I hate MDI and haven't played with it much - any hints on where the child
form
trigger can be placed...
