ok - have it done by myself.
set the second form as an mdi-child and use it as startform.
the only problem was the positioning. i used scaleheight and scalewidth of the mdi-form and centered the startform.
[tt]
Me.Top = MDIForm.ScaleHeight - Me.Height / 2
Me.Left = MDIForm.ScaleWidth - Me.Width / 2
[/tt]
i hope nobody will use this programm on an 800x600 screen.
thx for reading this ;-)

now i used another way:
the application starts with a main-function, not with a form. inside this i load and show the forms.
[tt]
mdiform.show
form.show vbmodal, mdiform
[/tt]
the background is that an mdichild can not be modal which is important in this case. the application handles some different things and at startup you should decide what to do. you know this behavior from the vb - programming - environment. it's an mdi-form and on startup you see a dialog form.
