I tried resizing the child form but it ended up being too small in the main form window which is not the desired goal. no matter how I resized it I would have the child form either too small and get the scroll bars. Thanks

I have a main form with menu options to open child forms within this main form window. Problem I am seeing is that I get scroll bars when I do this. if I move around with the scroll bars they disappear and give me what I wanted. Now if I make the menu invisible the child form opens correctly. But I need the menu bar so other child forms can be opened. The goals is the following for every child form opened; • Without scroll bars • Without control box • With the main menu bar still visible • Child window docked nicely. Does anyone have ideas as to why I am getting this behavior and how I can get the behavior I want? Sample of the current code to open the child form from the main form. private void menuBornEntry_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { /// Performing Born Entry activity . . . frmBornEntry dlgBornEntry = new frmBornEntry () ; dlgBornEntry.MdiParent = this ; dlgBornEntry.Activated += new EventHandler(ChildWindow_Opened); dlgBornEntry.Closed += new EventHandler(ChildWindow_Closed); dlgBornEntry.Dock = DockStyle.Fill ; dlgBornEntry.Show () ; } Thanks Rich
