Pane on MDI Form question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all, 

    I'm working off the 'Office 2003 MDI' sample that
came with the installation.  I want to set the text in the active
MDI client from the Pane so i used the line:

frmMain.ActiveForm.Text1.Text="Test"

    except i get the error "Runtime: Only one MDI for
allowed" How do i reference the MDI form from a pane? I also tried:

Dim fMain as frmMain

fMain.ActiveForm.Text1.Text="Test"

    and i get "Runtime: With or Object variable not
set". What am I overlooking? The worst part is, i'm afraid once I can
reference frmMain that the ActiveForm will just be the Pane form that
I'm pressing the button in. How can I quickly and easily set the text
in the active MDI client from a Pane?

many thanks, Zarch

	There is no Office 2003 MDI sample. Maybe you mean Outlook 2003? Or maybe you use VB.NET? Try to use fMainForm instead of frmMain.
