Hi
I have posted this question several times but have received no reply. I have
a main form which contains a panel which in turn contains a child form, like
this; MainForm->MyPanel->ChildForm. The question is; how can I, from the
child form, get a reference to the main form? If I try to do dim frm as new
mainform then I get reference to a second instance of the mainform which is
not the same as the original instance of the mainform.
Isn't there a way to from child form do; childform.paren t.parent or
something similar? Anyone has any ideas?
Thanks
Regards

Have a look at the control's 'FindForm' method.

Check the forms Parent property, or if its an MDI application, MdiParent.
They return the control thats containing this one.

I have used this on my child form;
Dim myForm As Form = Me.FindForm()
Using watch I can see that Me is MyProject.Child Form but the value of myForm
is also MyProject.Child Form!! I would have thought that it would be
MyProject.MainF orm.

From Watch Window;
Name, Value, Type
+ myForm, {MyProject.Chil dForm}, System.Windows. Forms.Form
+ Me, {MyProject.Chil dForm }, Contacts.frmCli ents

I'm using Access 2000 and I have a main form and a subform. When a
control on the subform is updated I am trying to update a control on
the mainform. But instead of updating the control on the main form's
current record, it updates the main form's control on every record.
This is the code I'm using for this:
Set cnn = CurrentProject.Connection
strSQL = "SELECT SUM(AmountPaid)AS SumAmountPaid FROM BillPayments
WHERE " & _

I have a form/subform with the common one-to-many relationship.
The form allows user to display records and move to other records
via the selector, to add,delete, and edit them, with the related
records displayed in the subform going along for the ride.
The parent form's recordset has fields
string integer
COLORNAME CLASSSIZE and a few more that aren't relevant here.
