MDIParent or ParentForm not working in MDIChild

[Daniel Mantilla]

I am creating child forms using this standard code:
Dim newDoc As New frmAnswer
newDoc.MdiParent = Me

newDoc.Show()

Inside the child form I need to know who the parent is, but MDIParent and
ParentForm are Nothing. Why is that? Even the IsMDIChild property is False.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

'Me.MdiParent' inside the MDI Child form isn't nothing after assigning
an MDI parent form. Are you sure you are checking the property's value
/after/ assigning the parent form?

Yes, you are right. I was checking for the value in the wrong place !! I
don't know what's happening with me ...

Thanks for your time.
