I've created a form and set the MDIChild property to True. Then I used the following code in a menu procedure, just like the manual says..
Private Sub mnuTest_Click()
Dim NewDoc As New Form1
NewDoc.Show
End Sub
No form shows up. No form, no errors, no task bar icons... nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Help! MDI Child Form won't show
My problem was that I had a PictureBox on my MDI form so that it could contain controls and act as a sort of main console. When I loaded my child forms they were not visible because they were behind the PictureBox.
I think I'll have to create a separate MDI Child Form to use as the main console and set it to be the startup form.
That's what I get for trying to be tricky.
