MDIChild opens with error

[MartinDurant]

I have a basic MDI app. When I try to open an MDIchild form using this code:

Dim frmOrders As New Form2
frmOrders.Show , MDIForm1

two copies of my MDIChild form are opened and I get the following error “Invalid procedure call or argument”.

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks.

If form2 is already set as a mdichild change this line frmOrders.Show , MDIForm1
to just
frmOrders.Show

Just the ticket! Thanks very much.

This is just a curiosty question. I have several MDIChild forms and when I start the app, they all appear without me instructing them to. So what I have to do is hide all of the child forms on startup.

Is there a reason they are starting up on there own.


Thanks

Steve

Set AutoShowChildren Property in the MDIForm to False.
