I personally like MDI apps as it stops thing getting cluttered... but that
is just personal pref I guess...

Also I note that though MS Word 2000 is not an MDI, MS Excel and MS Access
2000 are both MDI apps. Excel 2000 allows you to add a button in the taskbar
for each MDI child if you want to... Word 2000 (being non MDI) forces this
upon you...

Funny how things are so non standard between apps in the same (and latest)
MS Office suite!!

Are MDI forms still being used or are they fairly redundant these days.

What is the easiest way to make sure that your whole app only gets one icon
in the taskbar and when you minimise second and third etc forms that the
whole application minimises?

Cheers,

Matt.
