Default Programmatically open a form in tabbed mode - Access 2007

Here is my question: I am using the contacts database template from Access
2007. This database has two forms: “Contact List” and “Contact Details”. The
“Contact List” has an “Open” command for each contact in the list; this
command when clicked will open the “Contact Details” for that specific
contact. By default the “Contact Details” opens in pop-up mode. How can I
force it to open the form in tabbed mode instead? The database property is
already set to tabbed mode and I have changed the macro behind the “Open”
command to read: Contact Details, Form, , ="[ID]=" & Nz([ID],0), , Normal.
Also, I sat the “Contact Details” form property Pop Up = No. In addition, I
noticed that if I first open the “Contact Details” from the navigation pane
it opens in tabbed mode, and then if I open the “Contact List” and select an
item from the list, access will focus on the “Contact Details” form, selects
the appropriate contact and the form stays tabbed.

Try changing the WindowMode from Dialog to Normal.
