This is really more of a general IE question than OWC.

How can objects in a parent window be manipulated by a
Child window.

hm... just guessing here...

If the child window is not modal then possible creating a
function/procedure in the child that takes one argument.

1) Parent Spawns the Child (Timing issue.. need to
completely wait for the Child to finish loading??)
2) Parent Calls the Function/Sub passing a pointer to
the desired Object (PivotTable in this case). The Child
uses that argument to set a variable inside the child.
3) When needed, the child executes methods/properties
using the object pointer recieved from the Parent.

*****
I've done similar having the Parent control the child, but
never the reverse so I'm not sure how well it will work.

****

If the child is opened using the ShowModalDialog, I'm
guessing it may not be possible??? The Parent is "frozen"
waiting for the ShowModalDialog execution to end...???
