Re: MessageView

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been finding that Form_Open just does not always run when a form opens
(or rather, embeds) !

eg...
hMyInerForm.Load(hParentForm)

The parent form opens and embeds the inner form okay but the inner forms
Form_Open event only fires if i do this..
hMyInerForm.Load(hParentForm)
hMyInerForm.Show
