Form Not Loading-MDIChild problem

[kurie]

Good day
I have two forms, frmmain and frmchild
and the property MDIChild is set to true on frmchild, when i try to load it using frmchild.show, its not loading and no error message is given, But when MDIChild is false its loading.
does anyone know why this is happening.

Did you add frmmain as a MDI form?

Child forms are created using the New keyword because you can create multiple instances of the child form ( that's the whole idea of MDI ). Since you don't show your code here, I don't know if you are doing it like this or not. Here's an example of clicking a button to create the child form.

Private Sub NewChild_Click()
     Dim MyChild As New frmchild
     MyChild.Show
End Sub

Does this help?

When/where (menu, form_load, button)are you loading it using the code??

And is there any code in the child form's Intitialise or Load events?
