Call Sub on Parent form from Child Form

[Guest]

Hi
I had never had to do this and it took me a while to work it out.

Just thought I would post it to maybe help someone else with the same issue:

Hi Brian

I am not convinced that the example you give is necessarily a good one. In
your code you have created a circular dependency: Form1 depends on
ChildForm2 and ChildForm2 depends on Form1. This kind of dependency is
normally to be avoided.

You might consider raising an event in ChildForm2, which Form1 handles.
Form1 can then control the call to UpdateDealData().

Just a thought.
