MDI child call parent variable/object

[cc96ai]

Can MDI child call back parent variable or any object?
e.g.
- frmParent
-String conn = "abc.mdb";

- frmChild
- String test = "demo";

- frmChildTest
- how can we frmParent.conn ?
- and can we call frmChild.test , too ?

the issue i would like to call parent variable,
It would like to create the database connection in parent ,
so each child only need to call parent connection, and dont need to recreate on each form

In that case I would use module or class file ... just add new item i.e. module and declare variables with Public scope which will be reachable from any form of the current application.
