How did you put form2 on top?

By setting the property of form
i.e form2.topmost=true

To be truthful with you I have never used TopMost before. I tried this code:

Child1.MdiParent = Me
        Child1.Text = "Top Most"
        Child1.TopMost = True
        Child1.Show()

        Child2.Text = "This should be behind"
        Child2.TopMost = False
        Child2.MdiParent = Me
        Child2.Show()

and topmost doesn't work. Click on Child2 and it comes to the front. Other programs come up over the forms. Now if I set the MDI form to topmost=true then the form does stay on top of all other programs. So I am at a loss as why a child form would show up over all other programs.
