I need some suggestion on how to run a non Microsoft App in a VB form? I'm
trying to combine couple applications to run in one single form window so
that it looks like one program. In the form there will be button to choose
the view of different application. Can someone provide help or suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

What do you mean with 'a non Microsoft App'? An application not
developed by Microsoft or a non Windows App?
Please provide some more information about what you're actually trying
to achieve.

What I'm trying to do is for example have a symantec PC anywhere, Firefox,
Abobe PDF all run inside one vb form. Then I will make button or tab so that
I can switch the view of each program kind of like how the firefox tab works
with different web site. The problem I'm running into is how to lock all
those programs into the form so that it looks like only one window.

I suppose you'll have to look for a variant on the SetParent API.
Perhaps you can read something about that. In fact you're trying to let
the other Windows applications act as a child of your application.
