I think this might be what you are looking for

Dim oForm As New InvoiceForm
With oForm
.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
.Left = txtID.left
.Top = txtid.top+txtid.height
.ShowDialog()
End With

hope it helps

If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why. The only way we learn is by making mistakes.

the problem with your code was order of execution. you need to set the left and top before you show the form because execution stops while the form is shown and continues when the form becomes hidden.
