Error

[ScottF]

i using a mdi form and some child form. each child form has dblist on them that are bound to a datacontrol. I will get a error Error 3170 Couldn't find installable ISAM. I don't under stand because when i run the same project with out a mdi it does fine. It there something I don't know about mdi form.

if running mdiform with form child need the datacontrol in the mdiform and call from child form example:

'child form

mdiform1.data1.recordset.field("variable")
mdiform1.data2.recordset.findfirst var

[ScottF]

So all the data control should be on the mdi form and I just reference to them from the child form

I try calling the data1 from the child but when it refreshes I still get the error
