Forms

ats
In a project I have a Module mMain. At program shutdown I call a procedure
here that will check for any open forms and close them as follows:

Sub CloseAllForms()

Dim f As Form

For Each f In Forms
If f.Name <"frmMenu.vb" And f.Name <"frmStatus.vb" Then
f.Close()
End If
Next

End Sub

The problem I have is that I am getting an error message saying that "Name
'Forms' is not declared". What do I need to do to get this code to work?

TIA

What version of VB.NET are you using? In 2005, you can use My.Forms.
Before that... There is no such thing.
