Raydr,

I tries putting the code in the resize event of the MDIform, but it still doesn't work. The child form loads, but the picture on the main form doesnn't cover the entire form.

My code:

Private Sub MDIForm_Resize()
Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\windows\setup.bmp")
Picture1.PaintPicture Picture1.Picture, 0, 0, Screen.Width, Screen.Height
MDIForm1.Picture = Picture1.Picture
Picture1.Height = MDIForm1.Height
Form1.Show
End Sub

Any idea on how I can get this to work???

Thanks again.
