Is it a VCL form?  Is the form in a DLL or a package (BPL)?

If you are using a VCL form in a DLL, are you setting the DLL's
Application->Handle property before trying to create any forms in the DLL?
If you are not doing this, you should.  The DLL's Application->Handle
property must be set to the handle of the EXE's main window otherwise you
will get odd behavior like that which you are describing.
