Can this be done An app1 open and display app2 within app1 form?

Another way of doing it:
Use the WebBrowser control - add an instance of the control to your form, and use the .Navigate
method to open your word document - It works just like the old OLE container did.

Idle_Mind,

Oh man this is very cool, no doubt what I am looking for I think....

not clear on one thing here  using the below code which worked perfectly by the way ...

Public Class Form1

    Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" Alias "SetParent" (ByVal hWndChild As IntPtr, ByVal hWndNewParent As IntPtr) As Integer

    Private p As Process = Nothing

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        If (p Is Nothing) OrElse p.HasExited Then
            p = Process.Start("Calc")
            p.WaitForInputIdle()
            SetParent(p.MainWindowHandle, Panel1.Handle)
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
        If Not (p Is Nothing) Then
            If Not p.HasExited Then
                p.CloseMainWindow() ' or p.Kill() if it doesn't have a GUI                
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

End Class

This opened the calc  ... but how would I aim this at a different app   ....   is it here in this line of code
p = Process.Start("Calc")
Calc <----- is this where I would put path to exe file of app I wish to open up?

I answered that question I just opened up another app and it worked great .... May I ask another question or 2 understand your answer is the accepted solution and I will accept your solution as soon as I am done typing here.

Follow up questions if I might;

1. Is there a way to constrain the app I am opening in a fixed position within the panel?

2. Also is it possible to make my app resize to accommodate the opened app?

Note:  Should I just be posting new questions   .... if so I am more than happy because my original question has been solved ..

Thanx

Idle_Mind  ...

Here is my new questions concerning this I invite you to answer
