MDI forms

[Gimpster]

Does an MDI Parent form have a collection of all of it's Child forms? I mean, like the way a form has a collection of all of the controls on it. Does an MDI Parent form have something like that? And if so, how do you use it?

Uh, sortof...You can use the Forms collection which will return ALL the loaded forms and just skip the MDIForm.

For Each Form In Forms
    'replace with correct MDIForm name
    If Form.Name <> MDIForm1.Name Then
        MsgBox Form.Name
    End If
Next

If your MDIForm is named MyMainForm then you can use:
If Form.Name <> MyMainForm.Name Then
Or
If Form.Name <> "MyMainForm" Then

Hope this helps!

Just a small correction. Not every form in the Forms collection is necessary a MDIChild form.

Dim frm As Form
On Error Resume Next
For Each frm In Forms
If frm.MDIChild Then
MsgBox frm.Name
End If
Next

Good luck!
