I have a MS Access navigation form that has tabs (cost, labor, etc) to cycle through different data. I open this form to display more details from another form with a standard button.

The new navigation form opens in a new pop up window. Can I tell the navigation form to open to a different tab? Right now it defaults to the first one, cost. I'd like to be able to specify which tab it opens depending on which tab the user clicked the button from.

Example...

Form 1 has tabs A, B, C, D, E
New navigation form has tabs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

I have buttons on each tab in A, B, C, etc to open the new navigation form. If the user clicks the button from tab B, I'd like to new form to open in tab 2.

Possible?

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Enough trial and error and I solved this. If anyone is looking for a similar function see the answer:

Use a macro on the command button to first Open the navigation form.
The second command of the macro will be the BrowseTo function. If the navigation form has sub forms, browseto a form, if it's sub report, change the object to a report. Enter the name of the object and the path will be "navigation form name.NavigationSubForm".
