You are creating a new instance of the form, right?

        With New Form1
            .MdiParent = Me
            .Text = "Window " & sNumber
            .Show()
        End With


I wasn't able to re-produce your problem--maybe you could show a little more of your code.

You sure you know what you want? You don't seem to be able to express it very well. . . . Maybe you could show a picture?

how about doing something like...

in MDIParent1_ClientSizeChanged

If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized Then
            F.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
        ElseIf Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal Then
            F.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
        End If


something like this??

hope it helps
