Cut/Paste from MDI Parent form

Question

Okay I'm stumped here I'm trying to enable a Cut (or Paste) option on a Menu on my MDI Parent form. I know how to copy data to/from the clipboard on a regular form but I can't figure out how to call it on a MDI child form from the parent. Does anyone know how I would do there or know of any articles written on this? This is such a small and tedious task but it's annoying the crap out of me. -James

The only thing i can think of would be to have all child forms have a public sub that does the actual cutting/pasting. From the MDI parent form the Cut/Copy/Paste would simply call the public sub of the active form within its children. I have no experience with cut/paste but thats how I would think it would work.
