title: How do I link the tabs together on a navigation form so that it doesn't change records as I switch tabs?
body: <p>Okay, I've asked a similar question before, but I've spent about eight hours (really) trying to figure this problem out with no luck. </p>
  
  <p>So, I made this big Access form to modify "consortium" data, which has a record selector to change consortiums. I split the big form up into a navigation form so it wouldn't all be on one page. However, now when you switch tabs it always reverts back to modifying the first consortium. I'd like to keep it consistent across different tabs.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I've read up on forms and subform controls and linking fields, but I haven't been able to successfully link each subform--ie, each tab--to the greater navigation form. The whole "link master fields/link child fields" thing doesn't even show up. What gives? Isn't each one a subform of the master form? It acts as though there's no heirarchy there.</p>
  
  <p>Here are some pictures to illustrate my point. On my "evaluations" tab, for instance, I'm able to include a subform, which is able to link to its master:</p>

  <p>However, I can't link the whole evaluations subform to the greater navigation form. The option isn't even there, and changing records on the greater form doesn't change records in the evaluation subform:</p>

  <p>Does anyone know how to fix that problem?</p>
