Thank you, Wayne. I guess, if I understand correctly, you are suggesting to create a top level form (instead of using VFP main window) as the application main form. I will try this approach.

>>I am refactoring an application that consists of three windows (simplified for the sake of this message). The windows shows schedule, one day at a time; user can click next/prev/etc and navigate through dates. Currently user can go to the very first date (in 1998) and to any date in the future.

>>I want the application to have visual (I can't think of any other word to describe it) effect that you get when you open multiple documents with MS Word. Each document resides in a separate window and when minimized goes to the PC Task Bar.

>>I want to create a similar effect: when user selects a year, create a window (top one for the three "child" windows). Then when user selects another year, create another top window for the "child" windows of that year. And so on. When I say "top window" I mean it would look like a separate instance of the same application.

>>Is this possible to do with VFP? If yes, how do you do it?
