When I make a project/appliction in Windows 7 and when I copy the
whole folder to either a MacBook or Windows 8 I'm able to run the
program, compile, etc. but I can't get the Form Designer Window (or
Unit View) with all the buttons, Memos, Grids, etc. to continue
working on it.

Menu/Project/Forms opens the View Project Forms which lists the form
name but it doesn't open it as it does in Windows 7, it just opens the
Source Editor, not the designer window, F12 doesn't do it either.

Any way to get it back? - tnks.

goto the unit's editor press f12 make sure on the object inspector
that the form is selected and change the left & top properties of the
form to something like 10,10  and see if that brings it in view.

Thank you. I was working with two monitors with Windows 7 and the left
was 2200.
It compiles/build fine in Windows 8 and the designer form now shows in
the MacBook.

Now, when I compile and run in MacBook it doesn't seem to make an
executable file (like the .exe in Windows which of course will not
work in the Mac). Or does it go to some other folder?

Also, in the Mac I lost the MainMenu features, which ones are
equivalent in the Mac?
Maybe I should go to another section of the forum now...

I found the MainMenu features at the top of the monitor screen, not on
the form window, and they are functional.

Still, I don't find an .app file or some form of stand along file to
run the application (like the .exe file in Windows).
