In the OnClose handler of the MDI Child form:
procedure TForm1.FormClose(Sender: TObject; var Action: TCloseAction);
begin
Action := caFree;
end;
Also note that if you are freeing the form, then the global variable
declared in the unit becomes invalid. Generally speaking, with MDI Apps, the
MDI Children should not be an Auto-Create form as specified in the Project
Options.
If you are freeing the form in the OnClose handler, then you will get a GP
Fault, since the rest of the TForm.Close method references the object that
has just been freed.
