Two guesses. First, how are you determining the correct value for
Parentin (d). You don't show us the code for that. Second, is the control
CODEsupposed to be on the MDI Frame or one of the MDI Children? It would appear from the code that you want the MDI Frame but from your previous postings on this subject I would have guessed that you actually want an MDI Child to get the value.

You sir are correct!
I actually realized that I missed pointing that out after my post.
Yes, I would like to pass a value back to the "CODE" control on a MDIChild form.

Does this mean you figured out how to make it work, or do you still need assistance here?

Well I would like to say I got it to work but no such luck.
I have it working for two test forms I created but still can't get the
MDICHILD window name from the RSU to set the CODE and then
send a READ.
I appreciate your responding to the post. Will keep trying things.

Bruce,
The MDIFrame will have to get the window name of the MDIChild then pass that along in the CreateParam parameter of the Create_Dialog function.
From there I would suggest setting a user-defined property of the dialog box (e.g. RSU) in the CREATE event (e.g. @CHILD) to equal the name of the MDIChild so it can be retrieved over and over again as long as the dialog box is still running.
