I have a simple VB6 app that I was asked to make some mods to. The app merely displays data out of a database through a series of prompted steps on several MDI Child forms. A final form is displayed with the requested information for the user. The only active control on the final form is a button that closes the form to return to the previous form. Here's the problem: I was asked to change the way data is displayed on that final form from a set of text boxes to a flex grid, since data requirements have changed in the database and the amount of data may exceed the previous limited number of text boxes. I removed the text boxes and all the code supporting them and added a flex grid and the code to display the same information in rows in the flex grid. Now when I go through the steps to get to the final form, the form displays but is not active. The close button is not active, the minimize-maximize-close buttons at the top of the form are not active and when I inquired in the immediate window for form.enabled, the reply was false. I added a "previous" button in the taskbar of the parent form that closes the child forms in sequence and when all the child forms are closed, a second copy of the problem form is shown in minimized size. What gives??? Any ideas???
