Not sure how to say this correctly...

I want a different 'main' unit.

Is there a way to add/insert a Form Two into the initial unit and move
Form One to a new unit?

Thanks!

I don't know.

Maybe you want to create a new form, and move the order in the .lpr to
display it as main form:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i begin 
RequireDerivedFormResource:=True;  Application.Initialize; 
Application.CreateForm(TForm2, Form2); // Form2 will be the first
displayed  Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1); 
Application.Run;end.

@lainz:
I always shiver when people do that manually.

Project Options forms and then move your forms in/out and order them.

@WickedDum
In case that is really what you want, then re-order the forms as
explained. But it might be that you still named your main unit "main",
which would look/work a bit awkward (same as your "first" form perhaps
still being named "mainForm" or "Form1".

In case you wish to change that, then first re-order then save your
old unit "main" with a new name (e.g. Unit "secondunit") and rename
your old "mainform' name into "secondform" using the object inspector.

Now you can name your secondly added unit "main" and "mainform".

@lainz:  That's what I was looking for.  That seems pretty straight
forward to me!  Actually, I am surprised to find that it is that
easy.  (It is only easy if one considers the flow of their program,
variable assignments, and class restrictions.)  Thanks!

@Molly:  I don't have a problem renaming them...especially since I
only have one so far.   I was looking at the Object Inspector for
renaming Units/Forms the other day, but I recognized that the renaming
process did not include re-arranging the forms.

I believe I have enough info to try it now.  Thank you, both!!

If something else pops into your minds, please let me know!

It works like a champ!  Thank you.

Still not smooth on renaming things, but I'll get there.

Do appreciate the help!
