If I set my mdi child form visible=false,  I can not set it back to visible
or do a show on it. Can someone tell me what  I'm doing wrong.

Thanks Mark

I started a new project, added an mdi parent, set form1 to be an mdi child
and put this in form1:
Private Sub Form_Click()
Me.Visible = False
End Sub

and this in mdiform1:
Private Sub MDIForm_Click()
Form1.Visible = True
End Sub

I can make form1 appear and disappear without a problem.  My guess would be
that you are somehow not referencing the same child form but since you
didn't provide any code or explain whether it just didn't do anything or
gave an error there's not much else to suggest.
