Hi,
	I am having a problem trying to find out if a child window
	exists.  The child window is the size of the client area 
	of another child window, it is a grandchild... I need to size 
	the grandchild when the child is sized and I don't seem to 
	be able to get there.

	I was using FindWindow in the childs WM_SIZE processing 
	to see if the grandchild was active and if it was send it a 
	WM_SIZE but FindWindow never found the window.  
	The grandchild has no border and needs to resize when its parent
	is resized.

	Any clues...

					thanks
