Use this function...if it suits you... frmBaseForm frmLoad= new frmBaseForm(); ShowMdiChild(frmLaod); private void ShowMdiChild(Form frm) { if(frm==null) return; for(int i = 0 ; i < this.MdiChildren.GetLength(0) ; i++ ) if(this.MdiChildren[i].Name.Equals(frm.Name)) return; //if (! this.Contains(frm)) frm.MdiParent = this; frm.Show(); } sorry for my bad English.
