Topic: Open a form within a panel of another form

Hi

I have a (master) form with some buttons. If I click on the buttons then other (sub) forms will be opened. This all works as expected.
I want these (sub) forms to look like being opened in a specific area of the masterform. They should be aligned (top, bottom, right, left) to the margins of a panel or something like that of the masterform.  Is this possible somehow?

Kind Regards
Wood

Hi,
Please see the attached (bit rough and ready but I'm on the way out)!
The important thing to remember is to set the subordinate form's property to 'po designed'.
After that, it's just a case of tweaking the 'top' and 'left' but it's worth it as it can be very effective in giving the main form discrete 'zones'.
Derek.
