You could try doing this:

Make the box that you are going to use as the frame.

Punch the middle out with a boolean operation.

Make a second box that will be your glass.

Position objects accordingly.

yaa...thanx, this option i already know but the problem in boolean operation is that u can't make changes once u apply boolean.....that's the drawback of boolean.

You can as a Boolean Op will be in your modifier stack. All you have to do is convert to Editable Poly again. I use this all the time.

Theres a good tip for booleans in the Tutorial section of the forum, take a look at it.

You could also try using the multi/subobject material and just use different material IDs on the glass pane and the frame. Then you won't have to delete any polygons.
