MDI / Child question

[Jasp182]

Can I call a Function that exists on a child form from a toolbar click in the MDI form? I have a toolbar button called Save and a function on the Child form called SaveAppt. What I have right now is:

Select Case Button.Key
        Case "new"
            Call CreateNewSchedule
        Case "save"
            If gblnWindowExists Then
                frmChild.SaveAppt
            End If
End Select

If you have multiple instances of frmChild open, you will need to call the particular instance you are looking for.

One instance of frmChild only. I know how to use ActiveForm or refer to the form in a collection if that were the case, but I get errors when using ActiveForm.(FunctionName) or frmChild.(FunctionName).

I can't seem to refer to a form-level variable, collection, or function from a different form. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Thanks though.

Are you sure the methods/variables are declared as Public?

They weren't. I copied and pasted them from the MDI into the Child form and forgot to do that. Feel free to smack me for asking a stupid question! Thanks.
