I'd still have an SDI form and use an array of frames or user controls or
whatever in the "client" area. If you don't have multiple child forms
usable at any given time then MDI is probably not the best approach.

Did you use the Show method or Visible=True?

I don't see why not although if the parent is resized you may have to add
code to force the child to resize.
