First, try the Visual MaxFrame Professional forum:

http://vmpdiscussion.visionds.com/

I have been using the product for many years. There is a free tutorial you can download. You will have to have the product to work on the code if you want the least amount of problems.

Once you understand what the tutorial presents it will make things much easier for you.
