Hi,
Shortly after you posted your question I posted a similar one. I'm running
into the same situation with controls coming up slowly. Having posted the
question on three forums so far with no response I decided to do some playing
around. Try this. Put Me.Refresh in the form.activate section of your
mdiChild. When you do a .Show of your form it passes through the form.load
section of you code. However, form.activate follows the form.load. Good Luck..
