In Desperate Need of Help!

I am having some problems with my MDI program. I am not sure how to code my undo menu item. So far I have:

if typeof activeform = "Transaction" then
transaction.datprimaryrs.recordset.cancelupdate
end if

datprimaryrs is the name of my data control on the transaction form.

This results in the program opening a new window of the transaction form and correcting the problem. But the problem is now there are two windows instead of one. So I tried

ActiveForm.datprimaryrs.recordset.cancelupdate

This doesn't give me any errors, but it doesn't appear to do anything. The undo doesn't work.

I even tried created a public sub procedure that is on the transaction form to undo the code. But this doesn't work either. Nor does passing the transaction form to that procedure.

What am I doing wrong?

Try this:
If TypeOf ActiveForm Is YourFormName Then
YourFormName.datprimaryrs.recordset.cancelupdate
End If


YourFormName should be the name of your form from a property window, not it's caption.

Hmmm, transactions is the name of the form. When I type

transaction.datprimaryrs.recordset.cancelupdate

it opens a whole new form and then does the changes. So I have two open instead of one. Thanks for the help though...do you have any more suggestions on why it would do that?

That really works strange. After your last post I've tryed to recreate this and I also got two forms. Than I started again and it shows only one. And I cannot figure out why.

Uggh, this is so frustrating. I have been working on this project for about 2 1/2 months and am almost finished and then this!! Can you think of any workarounds? I was assuming since I had the formname.whatever was why it was opening up another window. That is why I am trying to get the ActiveForm to work. But it doesn't do anything at all.
