Is the actual form created either by you or IDE ?

In project options is the frmAppProcedures listed under "Auto-create
Forms and Databases" (Forms and Databases Tab).

If not then you need to either add it there or create it in your code on
app startup (i.e. frmAppProcedures := TfrmAppProcedures.Create... ).

easiest way to do latter would be to create it dynamically if needed.


function GetNextSystemId(sIdField : string) : integer;
begin
  Result := -1;

  if not assigned(frmAppProcedures ) then
      frmAppProcedures := TfrmAppProcedures.Create(Application);

  with frmAppProcedures do begin
    with srNextId do begin
      Method := rmPost;
      ...
