About this Article:

When building desktop applications in FoxPro it's always been a challenge having enough room on your forms for all of your controls. Some developers rely on pageframes to do this. Other developers opt to use multiple forms, either linked so they appear together or called individually as required. In this article, you'll learn about some alternatives.
