Thanks

Use the 'Activated' event on the MDI form. As the activated event is triggered each time the form is activated, you will need to use a flag so that the login form only appears the first time the form is activated (i.e. just after it is loaded)..

\\Private mblnLoginAlreadyProcessed As Boolea

Private Sub Form1_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Activate
If Not mblnLoginAlreadyProcessed The
mblnLoginAlreadyProcessed = Tru

Dim objLoginForm As New frmLogi

objLoginForm.ShowDialog(
End I
End Su
//

(convert to C# as required

Gary's solution more accurately answers your direct
question, but I like to open the login form before
opening the Mdi parent. Hey, why should they see it if
they are not authenticated.

[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
if(Authenticate() == true)
{

MainForm frmMain = new MainForm();
Application.Run(frmMain);

}
}

In Authenticate() open your login form as a dialog an
pass back success or fail.
