Use the height and width properties of one form and then set the other forms height and width as needed.
To center simply do a little math checking the height and width of the parent subtract the height and width of the child and divide by 2.

You can disable the maximize button in the forms properties

Is this what you are looking for maybe?

' in MDI child's form load event
    Dim adjCx As Single, adjCy As Single
    With MDIForm1
        adjCx = Me.Width - .ScaleWidth
        adjCy = Me.Height - .ScaleHeight
        .Move .Left, .Top, .Width + adjCx, .Height + adjCy
    End With

Note. This isn't perfect.

1) Code assumes MDI parent scalemode is twips. If something else, use ScaleX & ScaleY to convert parent's ScaleWidth & ScaleHeight to Twips

2) Ideally, I'd think the left & top position of the MDI parent should change along with the width & height. Positioning of the MDI parent before resizing should determine that. For example, don't want resizing to cause the MDI parent borders to go off the screen

3) If a smaller MDI child is shown after larger children were shown, the MDI parent will display scrollbars to allow accessing the those previous children

As far as clicking the MDI child's Close button ( X ) to act as a centering action, probably gonna need handle the Form_QueryUnload event or subclassing for that

Have fun.

Wouldn't setting the Parent's height same as Child's height defeat the purpose of the vertical scrollbar
