When a certain event happens on one of my forms (non-MDI), I want  
something else to happen on the main form (which is an MDI parent and I  
want all children to close). How do I do this? (I know how to close all  
MDI children from the MDI parent but I don't know how to do this from  
another form. Simply calling the MDI parent's Close_All procedure gives an  
error message along the lines of "only allowed for class methods" but I  
can't make Close_All a class method as it needs to refer to itself.)

TIA.

Brigitte
