You can create the child forms and "attach" them to the parent like this.
This is a sub that's performed to open a new child, called from the parent.
Private Sub OpenProductChild()
Dim frmProduct as New ProductForm
frmProduct.MdiParent = Me
frmProduct.Show()
End Sub
Then from the parent, you can access the children by enumerating through
them. This is one way to close all the child forms.
For Each childForm as Form in Me.MdiChildren
ChildForm.Close()
Next
I created the parent form using the MDI Parent Form Template, so it had
whatever settings it needed to be an MDIparent.
Hope that helps.

The How to page:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...76(VS.80).aspx
walks through the creation of MDI child forms.
It includes instructions to set the property MdiList to maintain a list of
open MDI child windows.
However, I can't find the MdiList property in the properties panel.
Can someone provide a hint?
