    :) Ok!

    I've read all my notes and a book and looked on net and I still cant get into my head what Active X is and What MDI forms do?

    I know something like Active X is things like the OLE objects like word and MDI has parent and child form but I wouldnt know how to elaborate.

    Could someone explain these briefly..?

    And if I'm really lucky someone out there might know about MS Access entity relationships...I think i know what they are like Many to many, one to many etc..???

    Many Thanks
    Kate:ninja:

    I do a bit of VB Programming, briefly ActiveX can either be a DLL or a control like a .OCX which you can then load onto your form.

    MDI stands for Multiple Document Interface, as opposed to Single Document Interface. Take MS Word as an example - the old MS Word '97 was an MDI, where you could open multiple documents (or forms) inside the main project window. The new MS Word 2000 is like Internet Explorer, where each new document opened is in effect another instance of the class.

    Does this make things any clearer?
