>I have a form called "containerform" and 3 forms "forma" "formb" "formc". I want to make "containerform" the main (parent?) form for the other three and place them in specific x,y locations inside "containerform". How can I get this to work? Pageframes aren't doing it, and I set containerform.showindow to 2 and forma/form/formc.showwindow to 1 but that placed "containerform" outside of the VFP6 dev environment and I couldn't close it.

You're on the right track with the top-level. To close it, you need some code in (or at least fired by) the T/Ls Queryunload, like the usual

Thisform.release
