Thanks Hans,

unfortunately it's like that and the only way to prevent this is to put
on FormResize event of the (Maximized form) this:

	WindowState = wsMaximized;


void __fastcall TForm2::FormResize(TObject *Sender)
{
  WindowState = wsMaximized;  
}


It works but in a very badly way cause while you open the 3rd form you
see the other one become normal and immeditely maximized again.

I was thinking to catch the message (VM_SIZE or something else...) to
prevent the resizing of the maximized form.

Any idea??
