Quick question: Form Load()

Hello! At Form Load() time, I am able to change the properties of many controls on the form. However, I am not able to change the Form1.Caption. In fact, the form does not display, but I don't receive an error message.
Also should Form Activate() automatically follow Form Load()? I tried to set Form1.Caption in there, as well, but it doesn't happen.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.

However, I am not able to change the Form1.Caption. In fact, the form does not display, but I don't receive an error message.
Just for information: Form1 is a global static field. You should use "Me" within the load-process.

Thank you, Manuel, and I have a related followup question ...
with VB6 I was able to set the form Me.Left and Me.Top in the Form Load() process (with StartupPosition = Manual). I wasn't successful doing this with Jabaco. Is something else required?
