Subject: [DUG] load a different mainform at startup

Hi
 
Via a command-line switch, I want to display a different form when the program starts, rather than the mainform.  I've tried hiding the mainform and showing the other form in the OnShow method of the mainform but it doesn't allow this.  Visible can't be altered in an OnShow.  I tried editing the DPR to create the first form in a different order as follows but this crashes Delphi 5 and I can't even load it.  I had to alter it back in Notepad.
 
if FindCmdLineSwitch('e',['-','/'],True) then
  Application.CreateForm(TEditMain, EditMain)
else
  Application.CreateForm(TMainForm, MainForm);
 
Any other suggestions?
 
Thanks.
