No, you won't be able to incoporate VFP forms inside your VB application. They will run on different processes, each having it environment.

If you need to display a VFP form from VB, you will need to build the VFP form has top-level and hide the VFP main screen. The form will be the main object in the project. It will display separatly from your VB app.

You can reuse the core of the VFP app by building them has a COM, but you cannot reuse easily the user interface from VB. You cannot even build the VFP form as an ActiveX control, because VFP doesn't support creation of ActiveX controls.
