Hi Fred,
This is one of those tasks that seems like it should be easy but it isn't. The BackGroundImage property will tile. Instead you could add a PictureBox control to your parent form. However, all child forms will display underneath the image. To fix this you could turn visible off for the PictureBox when you show a child form. The other option is to perform manual painting in the MDI Client area. Here is an article that explains how this works:
