resize forms

I'm trying to create an application utilizing the MDIForm, but I'm having some problems. What I would like is my 'main' child form to be maximized when I open another child form. Right now, my 'main' child form resizes when I load another child form. Is there anyway I can keep it maximized?

Thanks.

Unless the new child form is also maximized, your original one will always restore. It's a function of the MDIform. You cannot have one child form maximized while the others are not.
