ok , when loading Form2 in to your mid form ....

   Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'/// in Form1
       Dim frm2 As New Form2()
       frm2.MdiParent = DirectCast(Me, Form1)
       frm2.Show()
   End Sub

then when loading Form3 from Form2 ....

   Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'/// in Form2
       Dim frm3 As New Form3()
       frm3.MdiParent = DirectCast(Me.MdiParent, Form1)
       frm3.Show()
   End Sub
