    Problem re-enabling menu item

    Hi,
    Can someone please help me. I've got a strang problem in Visual Studio
    2005

    I've created a windows application, using an MDI form and top menu.
    When a menu item is clicked, a new instance of a form appeirs.

    At the same time, i'm disabling the menu item to prevent opening it
    again.

    I've placed some code in the new form, so when it is closed, it should
    re-enable the menu item in the main MDI-form.

    Unfortunately, the menu-item will not re-enable.

      1) "I've placed some code", yes great, how is anyone meant to work out what
      is wrong if you keep that code secret?
      2) This group is for VB6 and earlier, try asking in a newsgroup for .NET

      microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb

      microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb.data

          Specifically, don't crosspost between .NET and non-.NET groups.
