I have an Access Database with a sidebar (subform1) and a conent form (Subform2)

The sidebar of course contains only buttons that change the sourceobject of subform2 (content form) when clicked. I've narrowed my problem down to... when I click any link in the sidebar (subform1) the subform2 (content form) will only load if a data object DOES NOT EXIST. If I take the data source out the the form loads within the subform2 (content page) but the controls have $Name in each box. This makes sense because a data source does not exist for the controls to referene too. If I leave the data source in the form is BLANK and acts like it's not loading, but does not give an error message. Why is this happening? How do I fix it? Any ideas?
