Creating forms

[Greg]

Hi,

I don't know if this is the right place for this...

I'm trying to do a compile and I keep getting the following error: Error
creating form: !.

Anyone know what this is?

Thanks,
Greg

Maybe one Component in that form crashes while reading data or creating.

Tried to debug Mainprogram.

Search for "Application.CreateForm(Yourformname)" in Mainprogramm

Are you getting that *after* the project has been loaded into the IDE,
when you select Project->Compile <projectname>?

That would be unusual. This error tends to crop up when you try to open
a form in the IDE, or open a project that was last saved with a form
open, and the IDE cannot load the form resource for some reason. What
is the *exact* error message you get? There's usually some more data in
that.

A typical cause is that the form contains a component that is not
currently installed in the IDE. Another is a bug in a components code.
The form contains a life instance of the component, so part of its code
gets executed when the form is loaded (the constructor, the setters
for all properties that have values stored in the DFM file). If such
code causes an exception the IDE is often unable to load the form.
