Childform not visible!

[aikidokid]

I have a MDI form with 5 childforms. If I set the childforms to anything other than borderstyle = 2 (sizeable) when I open the childforms they are not visible.
Any ideas?

It doesn't make any sence. How do you open your child forms?

[aikidokid]

frmMembers.Visible = True
This works with borderstyle = 2

*BUMP*

Why don't you try Show method instead of Visible property. Also, try to stop your project and in debug window check each loaded form Left/Top to make sure it doesn't have any negative values.

That'll only work if the form has been loaded.

Load frmMembers

I have this in the menu

Private Sub mnuMembNewMemb_Click()
    Load frmAddMember
    frmAddMember.Visible = True
End Sub

and it still won't show with borderstyle = 1

As IROY55 suggested:

Private Sub mnuMembNewMemb_Click()
     frmAddMember.Show
End Sub
