Yes, but I was replying to Darren, who wasn't

In an MDI application, all of the MDI child forms are controlled to be
either maximised or "normal"/minimised. If you have one form maximised,
and you show another, the other will appear maximised as well, and if
you "restore" one of them, all will restore. So if you have a form that
_can't_ be maximised (ie. BorderIcons doesn't include biMaximise) and
you switch to it, all the other MDI child forms will restore. Maybe
that's the problem you ran into? But it shouldn't trouble Darren as his
offending form has FormStyle = fsNormal.
I'm using Delphi 4 and Windows 98, so I don't know, maybe things are
different here. Been using MDI since Delphi 2 though.
