>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 can still do it like in FP2.x with define window. But I think it's used rarely now. With SDI settings it's easy as you did (ShowWin. 2-1). To close it you need a "clear events" command. You could put that in "exit" button click :
*release forms
clear events
