I suppose the dialogs are not created on-the-fly...
Hmmm... the most ugly workaround I can think of:

1. Put a timer on any form that is to be shown Modal
2. Start the timer in the onshow-event IF a flag is set.
    When the timer fires, close the form.
3. Call all your dialogs when the main-program starts:
    with thedialog do
     begin
      SetTheFlag;
      ShowModal;
     end;

Should work if things happen only at the first Showmodal.
Now every form has had its first showmodal.

Speaking of workarounds.... ;-)

goodluck!
