There is nothing much you can do about it, unless you want to lock the form:<br />
<br />
LockWindowUpdate Me.hWnd &nbsp;'lock<br />
Form1.Show<br />
MDIForm1.Arrange vbCascade<br />
LockWindowUpdate False &nbsp; 'unlock<br />
<br />
<br />
For that to work you need to put the following code in a bas module:<br />
<br />
Option Explicit<br />
Public Declare Function LockWindowUpdate Lib &quot;user32&quot; (ByVal hwndLock As Long) As Long<br />
<br />
S<br />

I have a standard MDI Form with 5 or 6 different Child Forms. &nbsp;The problem is that the program does not recognize when child forms are closed. &nbsp;For example, I open two forms...and then close them. &nbsp;When I open the third form, it opens where a third form would be...rather than where the first opened form would be. &nbsp;Does anyone have a routine or an easy way to fix this? &nbsp;Thanks.

Positioning of Child Forms on MDI Form

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
