Now psychogen is working on an app, a pretty [censored] large up with pretty [censored] lots of [censored] to do. The app is such a hoe that it even interacts directly with remotely located databases and also can change and upload your web pages (not that thats to complex) but it can also administer ur entire members area online - well it will do once its finished.
This is a commercial app and its for work. But its a whore. Why?
Simple because.
I was stupid I have build a menu that is almost identical to that used in MS Outlook, yeah u know the side bar thing, its neat - BUT it will only work the way its meant to work if u stick it in an MDI form cause we need to be able to show multiple forms within another without it being obvious. Now what happens is that psychogen is a whore too, he decides to stick all of this in a SDI form without thinking about what he will have to fight with later. Now after many battles lots and not won he decides ok I am not l33t enough to code this in an SDI form so ima have to move it all to a MDI form, ok no probs.
Now the slag when starting the app will not .add [censored] to my menu!!!!!! I am so pissed at it, and it gives no errors, so Ima have to find what part of the [censored] code i have to rewrite and I am pissed as hell at it!!!!!
[censored] YOU MS PRODUCED MDI FORM!!!!
ok that was my rant for the day!

Well, before I go test to see how to do it - let's see if I can guess at it. Isn't there a Window State property for the child form? Set it to Maximized in design time. Or during runtime enter this line of code: 'Maximize the form before displaying it. Form.WindowState = vbMaximized Form.Show If that doesn't work, then I'll go play with it. -- and in my previous post I wasn't trying to help ya. I'm trying to figure out what the heck you're doing. (I don't use Outlook - I use my home grown program  )
