Embed A Navigation Form Instead Of Using Tabs (navigation Form As Subform) (1 Viewer)

Hi,

Is that at all possible? I thought it would be a good idea if I have a form with a lot of data structured in tabs. Since the tab loads all the data at once while the navigation form browses to the desired form. I have tried but the issue is the Master-Child link. The form in the navigation form is not considered as a subform, hence, no way to set a Master-Child link. The navigation form itself is the subform but even when setting up a link there it has no influence on the form displayed by the navigation form.

Any idea how this could work or is it just that it is not meant to be used this way?

Thanks
Jerem

You are mistaken, you can have a Master key on an unbound form.

How would you do that since there is no record source?

The Master Link is a combo box value or a text box value, bound or unbound, where user picks or enter a value. The record source, if any, doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the Master link.
