I would like to be able to disable the min and max buttons of an MDI
child, but if i do this, I cannot display the form within the parent.
Can anyone tell me why this is?

Thanks.

You can.  What error do you get if you try to display your form?
How are you trying to display your form?

no, but if you make the child form a different type (i think i use fixed
dialog) that will get rid of them entirely.

Set the ControlBox property to false on the child form. This removes the
min, max, and close buttons entirely. (You have to handle window management
through the MDI form, usually with the standard Window menu which has
Cascade, Tile H, Tile V, etc.)

You should also be able to enable or disable either the Min or Max button,
or both. I've never had any trouble with this.

You may have some other property of your child form set improperly....
