Doesn't work..no matter what i do..the mdi child form gets the focus..really weird.

I often have code like this: If (++activateCount == 1) { Thing.Focus(); // Other stuff for the first time everything is visible } You may have to set the focus to a specific control, not the whole form. I haven't tried any of this with MDI though. Greg
