you need to set the MdiParent property of the child form....ie:

----- Search Menu click event on Parent form----
ClientCard client_card = new ClientCard();
client_card.MdiParent = this;
client_card.Show();

ClientCard client_card = new ClientCard();

this.Hide();

client_card.MdiParent();

client_card.Show();

I try agian, this is the code I wrote on "sherch form" to open a other form "client" as a child but its not working. ths "sherch form" is not a chid but we open this form from the toolbar on the "father form"

thenk you
