Making my head spin

[BOFH]

I am an avid VB programmer, although only simple stuff. Our school
purchased VB.net 2003 and the first thing I tried has me baffled....MDI.

I can create the parent easy enough, but the child form has me at a dead
end. Ive looked on the microsoft site for answers to no avail.

Can anyone here describe the process of having the MDI parent containing a
child form?

Have a look at the following in the on line help. It has a worked example
"Creating MDI Child Forms"

Simply design your child forms as normal forms. You can instantiate them at
runtime and make them children of an MDI container. The code below can be
placed in an MDI container and will show a child form or type 'FooForm':

\\\
Dim f As New FooForm()
f.MdiParent = Me
f.Show()
///

you were correct. Thanks again.

PS...still makes yer head hurt. It seems the transition from VB6 to .NET
isnt going to be easy.
