How to Open a Form via Access Ribbon Tab

124 New Member
I'm creating my own ribbon for my Access db using xml (I am a novice at this, however.). Is there a way to have a form open when a user clicks on a ribbon tab? I know you can open a form by using a button control which I've already done. There doesn't appear to be a way to do this on the tab element but perhaps there's a way around this, like clicking on the tab causes a (hidden) button to be pressed that triggers a form to be open? Basically, I'm trying to see if I can mimic the Access tab control in the ribbon. Any thoughts are appreciated.
