Creating a "Sub" form like in Word...[BACK OPEN]

[Myriad_Rocker]

Hey, no prob. I really appreciate it.

So I don't clutter the place up with threads that are related, I just opened this one back up.

How do I align an MDI child form to a certain side of the MDI parent? By default, I believe it aligns to the left. I want it to align on the right hand side.

I'm not an MDI expert, but I will try my best.
Are we talking about positioning the form or docking the form?

I have attached an image example. The arrow shows where I want the child form to be on the MDI parent.

Like this?

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub MDIForm_Load()
    MDIForm1.Height = 4000
    MDIForm1.Width = 6000
    Form1.Width = MDIForm1.Width / 4
    Form1.Height = MDIForm1.Height - 875
    Form1.Move MDIForm1.ScaleWidth - Form1.ScaleWidth - 125
    Form1.Show
End Sub

Now dont forget (depending on how this is actually needed to work) to remove the
min/max buttons. Also, you need to write some code inthe Form_Resize event so if the
user resizes the main mdi form the "docked" child form will resize accordingly.

Ps, Thanks.

Alright, now I'm confused again. I'm totally understand what you're getting at, though. I even tested it and if I resize the form (from a user perspective) the child form just stays where it is....so....how do I accomplish getting the child form to resize according to the parent?
