I like your solution better. I'll give it a try.

Thanks




>>Actually Bill, what I almost included in my reply to you was something similar, but not quite ... I didn't because it seemed to work ok for me without it. But, what I was going to say was to do this to set the menus to each other:


// In the MainForm:
ChildForm oForm = new ChildForm();
oForm.MdiParent = this;
oForm.MainMenuStrip = this.MainMenuStrip;
oForm.Show();
I believe the IDE designer generates the code to set the MainMenuStrip when you add the menustrip to your Form.
