executing code after form is opened

This seems like it should be a very simple task, but it is
proving to be quite frustrating. All I want to do is have
a function carried out after the form is opened and fully
loaded -- if I do this on the OnOpen event, the function
is carried out before the form is on the screen, and the
OnActivate and Onload events don't do the trick either.
These all seem to execute before the form is actually
loaded and on the screen, so I am not able to reference
any controls on the screen. How do I solve this problem?
thanks for any help.

The Load event should allow you to do most anything. What
are you trying to do? How did you try to it? What kind of
problem did you run into?
