Good Morning.  I have multiple frames that operate independent of each
other.  I would like to make any frame that is triggered to be viewable in
the master frame and I also would like to make the new frame the active one
without giving the user the ability to go back to the parent frame (model).



I also would like to ask which one would be better to do.  To have multiple
frames for multiple tasks or 1 frame and multiple JPANEL for each task.

What would be the advantage of each?



thank you

Sounds like you would be better off using JDesktopPane and JInternalFrames
(aka MDI), rather than independent JFrames. 

You could certainly create the Panels individually, and use one JFrame to
load them as needed.
