back button needed from sub-sub form to prior sub form

[LeoLily]

I am setting up a data entry form that has required fields; the form has 7 subforms and I am having problems creating a "back button" to go (for example) from subfrom 7 to subform while staying in the same record.

You may consider using a TabControl with (at least) 7 pages (tabs).

I have considered this, but am unfamiliar with tabs. Is there a way to set up a "continue" button that would change the focus to the next tab?

It's more difficult for an user to click a Tab than a button ?

This database is replicating one that was written 6 years ago for probation officers. The problem is that we don't have the original source code available (the programmer used an Access database but the data entry, etc. are in a different program) and weren't able to update from Access '97 to Access 2000. So, I need to make the Access database look and feel like the old version *sigh*. It would be MUCH easier to set up tabs instead, but...
