how to know if mdiparent has open childforms?

[nev]

how to code this? i don't wanna check each childforms if they are visible or not.

i tried...

if mdiparent.hasopenchildforms then
msgbox("childform/s open")
end if

of course this will not work because there is no method like that.

have you tried MdiChildren? [:D]
It will give you a list of forms owned by the MDi Form. However you might want to make your own method to return a list of non visible child forms.

problem solved (i think).

i did a little something like this...

if me.activemdichild is nothing then
'place code here
end if

Sounds good.
except that code is in the MDIParent form, right?
