MDI-child-child problem !!

I have a mdi-problem. Wonder if there is a solution for this.

I have an MDI-parent window. In this Parent-window i have 2 child
windows. THese child windows are programs that each handle a table.
THey can seperately be called as MDI-children.
My problem now is that sometimes i have to call one MDI-child as a
child from the other mdi-child (it acts like a pick-list).
I want to force the user to select a record in one window before he
can return to the other.

the tables are client-table and a Zipcode table.
There is a seperate program (mdi-child) for handling clients and one
seperate program (mdi-child) for handling Zipcodes.
But how can i call the Zipcodes-program from within my client-program
in such a way that the end-user must have a Zipcode selected and ended
the zipcode-program before he can go back to the client program ????

I can't call the zipcode-program modal !!!!

Hope this was a little bit understandeble.. :-)

Why can't you show the zipcode picklist modal. (do not make an MDI child of
it) A pick list is always a dialogbox that has to be ended before you can
continue (You say so yourself). This is exactly wher the ShowModal is made
for.
