Hi AmrutaVK,

Based on my understanding, you have shown that form not as MDI child form. Then you want to click menu item to show it into the MDIParent. You don't want to create a new form but move the current one into MDIParent. Am I right? If I misunderstood you, please feel free to tell me.

So I think Omie's code is partly correct. Do not call Dim cForm As New Customer_Master, just
Private Sub NewToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NewToolStripMenuItem.Click
cForm.MaximizeBox = False
cForm.MinimizeBox = False
cForm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
cForm.MdiParent = Me
cForm.Show()
End Sub
will be ok. The current form won't close and it will "jump" into the MDIParent.

Thanks for Omie's code and warmly help.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian
