I meant to say in the Form's constructor.  The actual call is 

button1 := TButton.Create(Self);

I tried changing it to 

button1 := TButton.Create(Hello); (Hello is tha name of the form).

With the new compiler, I changed it back.

Parent is assigned to the button's Self.

Owner is set correctly, with the new compiler.

Things are moving along better, but I am still sleepy.

Good night.
