I am converting a vb project from VB4 to VB6. I've come across a problem with an MDI form - haven't used them much myself and I just can't see the answer...
In the code, the form 'frmFrontEnd' is shown (frmFrontEnd.Show) BUT it doesn't physically appear on screen.
The MDI form is open, its' 'AutoShowChildren' property is true and its' 'ActiveFrom.name' = frmFrontEnd. Also, frmFrontEnd has its' .MdiChild property set to true

Shouldn't it just appear in the MDI form window when frmFrontEnd,Show is run?

The MDI form does contain some Sherdian 3D controls but they look to be working OK. The exe works OK in its' VB4 version - tempting to leave it as it is but I'd prefer to be supporting it in VB6...

Thx for any help
