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.
