Referring to an Event on a Different Form

Hello:

I have figured out the "Form Effect" question above. However, I'm using VB
5.0 and want to refer to an event on a different form.

I have an MDI form with help on it. When the user selects help, I want to
see what form is active "Me.ActiveForm"...then I want to select the "Help"
button's click event on that form. How do I programatically select the
button and click it from the MDI form in visual basic?

Your assistance would be much appreciated.

You don't. Just create a public method on the form ("public sub
ShowHelp()") and call that both from the button's click event and from
outside the form.

Best regards
