odd problem with mdi forms....

[fenris]

I have the following snippets of code on a child form of MDIform:


If dbAlreadyOpen(frmMain.mp3DB) Then
MsgBox "A Database is Already open!", vbExclamation, "Already Open..."
Exit Sub
End If

Everytime the above code executes it causes a run time error 426 only one MDI form allowed....and it points to the frmmain.mp3db reference as the culprit. I need this reference in order to access the public mp3db variable.

Any ideas on what is going on?

It would help if you could post your source code for dbAlreadyOpen, but aside from that, if you need to pass the MDI reference in order to access the public variable mp3db, then why not just pass that variable and not the entire MDI form reference. - Jeff Marler
