I have Delphi V5 and an MDI application that behaves unacceptably, but I
can't find the solution.

I let one MDI window be created at application startup (via CreateForm
in the project source).  Now I can create additional MDI children with
the command TMDIForm.Create(Self) in the MDI parent with success.
However, if I close the MDI child that was automatically created on
startup and try to create a new MDI form, I get an access error at
TMIDForm.Create(Self).  In the MDI OnClose event, I set the action to
caFree.  Now the oddity is that after the error, a new MDI form is
created.  I need help bad - I've lost more time to this issue than I can
to think about.

I have already tried removing the CreateForm from the project source,
allowing the MDI parent to create the first window, but I get the same
error when I try to create the first MDI child.

You are probably using the variable that is assigned to the first MDI child
form (see CreateForm) globally. This variable is only valid as long as the
first MDI child is not closed !
Secondly, if you create forms you should specify Application as the owner,
e.g. TMDIForm.Create(Application).
