I have been away a long time and restarting B4PPC with 6.80. No excuse!
I just started a new project and created the form with a button.
Worked.
I named the form other than Form1 and I got an error stating that 'show' was not a known control or object.
The offending code - Main.show instead of Form1.show.
The form with its name was presumably saved when I responded that I wished to keep the changes. The offending line was changed automatically as expected.
Hence the title.
