Hi Cathy,

Thanks for the reply. I had tried the Picturebox control first and noticed the same behaviour as you mentioned. Guess I'll have to hide and show the Picturebox control programatically to work around this bug.

Thanks, Al

You will need to hide the PictureBox when you display the first child form and have it reappear when the last child form is closed.
