Convert an MDI form to a standard form in VB6

I would like to copy an MDI form irom one VB6 program into another VB6 program that already has a MDI form. I need the first MDI form because of its extensive Menu items. If I could somehow convert the first MDI to a standard form then the IDE of the second program would let me just add the form, but won't allow 2 MDI forms. The only solution short of a great deal of Menu code would be to somehow convert the first form to a standard form then the second program would allow it to be added.

Actually, I am needing to include the functionality of the first program (with the MDI form that I would like to convert) into the second program. The first program has a rather complex menu system, with underlying code that I plan to copy the underlying code plus the other forms and bas modules into the second program.

Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys - I was able to convert the MDI form to a standard form using notepad, and also viewed the code, so that I now know how to quickly copy and paste the Menu system.

Both solutions were great.

Thanks again,
