I just found out how!! In the onLoad event of the MDI parent form, I had to loop through all the controls to find the MDIClient control. After finding it, I just had to use the method chrissie1 proposed using the MDIClient control instead of "Me". Thanks a bunch to everybody, you've all been of...

I tried using your method but it wont draw because the form is an MDI container...

Hey thanks for your answers but unfortunately, I own VS.NET 2003 so that BackgroundImageLayout property is not available

No problem mate, thanks a lot for your support!

I've been searching on Google for at least an hour without any success...

Thanks for your answer. I tried the BackgroundImage property and it works. The only problem is that the image is repeated which is actually REALLY ugly =). Is there any way to center this background image?

Hi! I have an MDI application and I want to put a background image (the company's logo) in the MDI container itself. The problem is that when I open a child form, it is displayed UNDER the logo instead of OVER it. I tried using the SendToBack method on the image (it's a PictureBox control) but...

Would you mind posting some code? I still can't get it to work...

Hi! I'm making an application that connects to an Access database to add/delete/update fields. Now I want to be able to "upload" an image file in the database but I have no idea how I could possibly do that. I made an OpenFileDialog control to be able to select the file I want to put in the...

OK I guess I should explain a little better what I'm trying to do. I want to make an RSS news reader that will display in the title bar the news from the RSS file(s). This works. Now I only want to show the title bar as I don't need to show any controls (the configuration will be made through a...

Thanks for the answer but it doesn't really work... It still shows a nasty 2 pixels high form... I really want only the titlebar to show up.

Hi! Just wanted to know if it was possible to make a "windowshade" mode (i.e. shrink the window to only show the title-bar, not the rest of the form) in VB.NET. Thanks in advance!

Thanks MacCaillean but I have already tried what was on that page without any success... well.. changing the PrtDevNames and PrtDevModes properties work but have caused bugs more than once. I also don't want to use the Page setup like I've already said in a previous post. On the Microsoft page...

Can't anyone help me out? Is it really THAT hard to do? Is the code in the faqs supposed to work or not? And if it works, why doesn't it work with other printers as well?

Well the thing is I want to change printers on the fly, without having to go in the page setup. In Access XP I could have used the printers collection but it's non-existant in Access 2000...

Hi! I have a small (I hope!) problem. I change the default printer (using the registry keys) to the virtual PDF printer. This works. I can also change it back to whatever the old printer was without any problem. The problem is that when I open the report with the acViewNormal parameter after...

Well everything works until I close the app. In Win98se, I get a KERNEL32.DLL fatal error everytime. In XP, I don't get any error message, but the .ldb file isn't deleted and if I put code (like a MsgBox) in the main form's OnClose event, it won't even show up when I close the application... I...

Just found out that the code makes Access 2000 crash :( Can anyone help me out?

According to the small tests I just made, I won't need to put the code in the subforms. Probably because the main form and subforms are linked together. Anyway, everything's working now!

Thanks a lot for your help, it is much appreciated!
