[tzamora]

In my MDIForm I've got this code below and it works fine...

public sub updbar()
sbStatusBar.Panels.Item(1).Text = "location (" & g_sys_location & &quot Year (" & g_sys_Year & &quot Season (" & g_sys_Season & &quot"

From any MDIchild forms, how can I reference the same code so that the status bar on the MDIForm reflects the change?

Thanks

From your child form you can reference the parent by...
[tt]
MDIParentFormName.sbStatusBar.Panels.Item(1).Text = "location (" & g_sys_location & &quot Year (" & g_sys_Year & &quot Season (" & g_sys_Season & &quot"
[/tt]

Just as you would reference any control in another form.

Good Luck
