Where can I fand a good list of all event and the order in which they
occur? Specifically I want to know the order in starting up an
application and its main form.
Where shuold I put my 'once-only' startup code for an application? In
this case it needs to change the main form size, and adjust several
frames to suit.

Ron,
Unless you plan to "Unload" the form during run-time (as opposed to
hiding it by changing the "Visible" property value) your one-off
processing should go into the "Load" event handler. Things you want to
p do every time the form accquires focus or is made visible should be
laced in the "Activate" event handler.
If you plan to unload and reload the form at run-time (slow) you will
have to resort to a global Boolean which you set the first time thru -
eg:
if (RonsFormSetupHasBeenDone=False) then
MainForm.width=Screen.Width
MainForm.height=Screen.Height
.
.
RonsFormSetupHasBeenDone=True
endif

from time to time.
