Navigation Pane Stopper:-

This code prevents the user from opening the form from the navigation pane.
This is necessary if you have developed a form which should only be open from another form. In other words, a form that passes information back to the form that opened it.

The terms I use for these type of forms are "Call Called" as in you have a form which is "Called" (the one you are opening) and you have the form that is opening it.... that's the "Call" form >>> Call Called.

Add the following code to the forms "On Open" Event:-

Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'Application.CurrentObjectName Property (Access)
'HERE:-
'https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff196795.aspx
    Dim strCurrentName As String
    strCurrentName = Application.CurrentObjectName
    
    If strCurrentName = Me.Name Then
        Cancel = True
        Exit Sub
    End If
End Sub      'Form_Open
