Macro not working in Navigation Form

[tcrank472]

Access ver 2010
In a Form I have a Command Button that invokes a Macro that looks in a Text Box then performs a record search based on the value of the Text Box. The Macro runs fine when the Form is opened in its own window.

However when the same Form is assigned under a Tab in a Navigation Form the Macro returns an error message. "...cannot find the referenced form..."

Any thoughts on this?

PS: I am not a programmer, I copied the Macro from the sample Contacts db provided by MS Access to my database.
Thanks!

The form then becomes an object within the tab form so you have to reference that first. So it will look like searching inside a subform.
