hi Friends,
I am working with multiple forms.
I am facing problem in opening child form of the child.

1. TransMast.vb - MDI Form,
2. Contacts.vb - Windows Form
3. Find.vb - Windows Form

While i run the application the contacts.vb opens inside the TransMast.vb, but when i click Find button which is set in Contacts.vb to find contacts from database, the Find.vb opens outside the TrnasMast.vb.

Can anyone tell me what changes i have to make ?
