    How to reference a form in the Navigation Form

    I need to reference a form called "Search Pro" that is within my navigation form. I have tried the normal ways of referencing subforms and it does not seem to be working.



    Do you have to reference forms differently if they are within the navigation form??? For some reason all of the forms within the Navigation form are named "NavigationSubform" and whenever I try to change one they all change. So then what do I need to reference??? Please help!!! Do i need to reference the tab index???


    Thanks

    I looked at the Navigation Form when I first got 2010 and decided I would never use it. It is basically a wizard that automates building a form with tab control and subforms on the tab pages. I don't use wizards. They do things I don't like and the objects are harder to edit design. I use the regular tab control and subform container control and build this structure manually.

    Good Answer, oh wait you didn't answer. I'm having a similar problem and have been searching in forums and your reply made me join this board just to comment on your post.

    I'm having a similar issue.

    I used the the following attributes to configure my navigation page/sub-form arrangement.

    If I design the main form and view the properties of the tab of the subform and click on the data tab.....

    Navigation Target Name: sub form name
    Navigation Where clause: (subform control name)=(control name)
    Enabled: Yes

    My values are.
    Navigation Target Name: frmsubSolarisusers
    Navigation Where clause: Employee=People_ID_PK
    Enabled: Yes

    My question is...do I reference the control name or the control source?
