I have. Many times.
I can't figure out what I am missing. And I think I must be missing
something from my Main Server section to cause a URL NOT to the virtual
host to still go to the virtual host.

Boy, was I confusicated by the docs that I read. Thanks to a doc sent to
me by Patrick Donker, I figured out all I was doing wrong....
Both the NameVirtualHost and the <VirtualHost _____> are suppose to have IP
addresses for the server, and only FQDNs if you want to use DNS at startup
to resolve names to addresses. Dah.
What distinguishes multiple <VirtualHost _______> blocks is the content of
the ServerName entry. This was not clear from the main VirtualHost doc
page, their it seemed like you needed separate IP addresses for each
virtual host (which was once the case).
So it is working now. I have my NameVirtualHost entry and 3 <VirtualHost
_____> blocks.
thanks all!

Does www.home.com and home.com resolve to different IPs? If not, why do you
have them both? NameVirtualHost tells Apache which IP/port combinations to
use for name-based virtual hosting. It is always prefered to use the IP
instead of hostname:

If this was in addition to the other VHost, the problem is that you have
given two VHosts the same ServerName, which, of course, is conflicting.
> and still no access to home.com
Is home.com defined as a virtual host? If that is your "main server" and it
isn't sitting on a different IP than your virtual hosts, you won't ever
reach, due to reasons previously explained. If you are using name-based
virtual hosting, you must define each site/domain as a virtual host. With a
few exceptions, once you start adding virtual hosts, your "main
configuration" only becomes the default configuration for the virtual hosts;
not a host of its own.
If you still have problems, please summarize your case again, since this has
become a bit confusing.

As I showed in my message I have:
<VirtualHost abc.org>
ServerAdmin abc@abc.org
DocumentRoot "D:/Pages-abc"
ServerName abc.org:80
ErrorLog logs/abc.org-error.log
CustomLog logs/abc.org-access.log common
</VirtualHost>
I originally did not use the command:
NameVirtualHost
I added it both trying:
NameVirtualHost www.home.com
and
NameVirtualHost home.com
with no change.
I tried adding:
<VirtualHost home.com>
ServerAdmin abc@home.com
DocumentRoot "D:/Pages"
ServerName abc.org:80
ErrorLog logs/error.log
CustomLog logs/access.log common
</VirtualHost>
And this produced some error that flashed too quick across the screen, but
something like
'this conflicts with the default server'
and still no access to home.com
If I take out the virtualhost section, the default server works, so I know
that is the problem...

True, my mistake. Thanks for pointing it out. I had forgotten that
difference, although it makes perfect sense, and assumed that the OP was
utilizing name-based virtual hosts (which I dare guess still is true).

While this may be true for Name based VirtualHosts (it makes sense, I
just never had a problem with it :) ), the same cannot be said for IP or
port based VirtualHosts. If a VirtualHost is not matched in an IP based
setup, then the global server config is used.

What you may be missing, is that as soon as you define a virtual host, your
"main server" cease to exist. You cannot have both a "main server" and one
or more virtual hosts; the modes are mutally exclusive. In fact, the first
defined virtual host becomes the default/main server for requests that can't
be matched to another virtual host.
