Please show the actual code that is not working and explain in detail. No one can guess what your code does.

Instead of disabling the menu-item, I'd recommend not creating it in the first place.

Try creating a variable in the login form, when any of them logs in assign a value to that variable. Note: the value assigned should be different depending on who logged in. E.g (variable_name = 1..when admin logs in, variable_name = 2..when user logs in ). On the load event of the main form use an if statement to check the value of that variable. Depending on the value of the variable disable the menustrip item using the its name. Example when a normal user logs in If(variable_name=1) { Menustripitem_name.enable=false; } Remember to declare the variables for validation as static variables in the login form so as to access it in the mainform. Hope that works

you also realise that you can merge menu's from the child forms into the parent container? Google : MDI Parent form merge menustrip[^]

check it userwise if(user =="admin"){ menu.IsEnable=true; } else {menu.IsEnable=false;} something like this

Try making a Boolean variable. On login, the app must determine if the logged in user is admin or not. Then, set the appropriate values.

On login:
If user is admin: adminbool = true
else
adminbool = false

On form_load
If(adminbool=false)
{
Menustripitem_name.enable=false;
}

else

{
Menustripitem_name.enable=true;
}

You get the idea, right?
