Child forms and MDI parent

I have a MDI application and am encountering a few problems.

When I have a child form in focus I want to load a particular menu control in the parent but haven't a clue how to go about it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks In Advance ;)

You can probably check ActiveMdiChild property of the MDIForm to know which form is loaded and then accordingly change/load the Menu.

That needs to be invoked from the MDIPArent form.
I need to do this via the child form.

You can access the MDIParent from the childform using Me.MDIParent property. And then you can manuplate the menu's etc on the MDI Parent form.
