Maximize only one form?

Access 2003

If my Customers form is maximized and I press a button on the form to
open my Contacts form, is it possible to have the Contacts form as a
floating form that I can drag round the screen while the Customers
form is still maximized?

Make any form you don't want to maximize a popup by setting its PopUp
property to Yes. Then it does not maximize with all other objects.
