MDI Forms w/ Code

[TMoney216]

Hi All,

Fairly new to VB, and I have, what is probably an easy one, a question.

How can I access controls on the main MDI form from a child or document form?


This occurs when I try to update the main MDIForms status bar, from the Add button on my child form...


Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
On Error GoTo AddErr


frmMain.sbStatusBar.Panels(2).Text = " Adding an Employee...."


adoPrimaryRS.MoveLast
adoPrimaryRS.AddNew
grdDataGrid.SetFocus

Exit Sub
AddErr:
MsgBox Err.Description
End Sub


Thanks!!!!

Are you getting an error? If so what does it say. When you referred to your main form did you get intellisense response as you typed it? It looks like it should work... JHall

With frmMain.sbStatusBar.Panels(2)
.Text = " Adding an Employee...."
.Refresh ' Refresh the text
End With
' Possibly a DoEvents will be needed but that introduces other problems.
