A few years ago, I found a small application containing Access tips. It showed a form with a grid view of tip categories. You could click the record selector (on the left of each record) and a form would open with the information about that subject. Does anyone out there know how this works? I think that this could be a great solution to something that I am working on now.
 
Probably something like this:

Code:
Private Sub Detail_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
    Dim strFormName As String
    strFormName = "The Name Of  Your Form Goes Here"
    DoCmd.OpenForm strFormName, , , "Put your where clause here"
End Sub

Where you replace "Put your where clause here" with something to filter the form you're oprning, ie

Code:
"[FormIDField] = " & me!txtLinkIDField
