sorry but I am still confused...
You start with frmStart (that is not a MDIform).
From its menu you load frmA (which you say is a MDIchild) but where is the
MDIform at this moment?
How is this MDIform call and when is it loaded?
Remember that the scrollbars do not appear if the MDIchildren fit inside the
MDIform workspace
