Try this out. The following code will prevent you to open duplicate form. foreach (Form frmchild in this.MdiChildren) { if (frmcompany is chldfrm) { frmchild.Show(); frmchild.Focus(); return; } } chldfrm frmchild1 = new chldfrm(); this.AddOwnedForm(frmchild1); frmchild1.MdiParent = this; frmchild1.Show();

Can you please explain it in details with your code. Did you mean once a child form is opened and again click on ok button it shows a duplicate child form inspite of focusing it in old child form???
