Hi Praveen,

Try the following in evey menu click envents to find the no of Opened forms in MDI,
Ex

private void Menu1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form[] childArray = this.MdiChildren;
int x;
foreach(Form childForm in childArray)
{
x++;
}
if( x>5)
{
//more than 5 active forms in MDI
}
else
{
//do
}
}
