Otto,
Do you mean in the main MDI window or in the MDICHILD windows ?

Otto,
You have to understand how the MDI environment is designed by Microsoft and how it works. It is clearly explained in the FiveWin docs.
There is a "invisible" window, child of the main MDI window, that controls the child windows. You can't place a control on top of that "invisible" or it will be managed as a MDI child too (cascaded, tiled, etc.)
So the only solution is to resize the "invisible" window and free an area for the browse. This approach is implemented in fwh\samples\Test2003.prg
