The problem is that the work happens before the form is, well, "shown". You need to get the form established before it can close.
My solution is to use a TTimer. Have OnActivate or OnShow enable a TTimer, and move the work to the TTimer event. It doesn't have to be a very long time delay -- just a few milliseconds -- but this gets the working code out of the form setup phase.
