I would need to test if that 2nd form is opened then call its methods and refresh it. How can this be done? Please some sample code if possible. Thanks! Edhy Rijo

For Each loForm As Form In Me.MdiChildren If loForm.Name = "frmCallMonitor" Then CType(loForm, frmCallMonitor).CheckUncheckCallsInList() ' This is a Public custom method in that form. Exit For End If Next So far this work, but I am not sure if there is a better way than looping all the MdiChildren collection. Edhy Rijo
