Open a form with the correct subform in MS Access

Question

I have a form in Access that has navigation control which is made up of sub-forms. The main form is just to house the navigation control. Is it possible to create an action button on another form that can open the main form but open the correct sub-form at the same time?

My issue is I can open the main form but the sub-form is only showing the first record in the table. I would ideally like to click the button, open the main form and the correct sub-form at the same time. Is that possible?

Answer 1

Solution: Instead of using the navigation control feature, I used the tab control feature. Which allows me to make tabs on a form, which I can then make a button to open that form and search for a record.
