Hi there,

set the mdichild to false in your login form.. now your login form will load without loading your mdi form..

in order to use login id on all your forms.. declare a public variable and store the login id to that variable..

declare the variable in a module file.. see below..

  Public strLoginID as string

Hello Sashi

I have a very similar problem, but i am using VB.Net and not VB6 as our friend here.
Now, Where should I declare the Public variable? in the MDIParent form? and how should I take its value from the child forms?
I am logging in with the MdiParent as the start up form, so the login form is showing on the parent's load event.

thanks

Hi,

Add a .bas module to ur project and declare there..

Public MyLoginName As String.

And Populate that variable after Login, access it anywhere in the project..
