Hi Jerry,

In the constructor of your Mdi form, add the call to open your child form.

>Using C#, I have created a MdiContainer WinForm as my main application's form. This form is the application's 'shell' form and contains a menu bar.
>
>When I run my ap, everything works fine, this Mdi form starts and my other forms are contained in this main form.
>
>However, I really want the main form to display as it does, but I also want one of my other forms to display on startup also. How can I do this? It's like starting Word and having a blank document open also.
