Default Pop-up Forms

Is Access capable to pop-up a subform(from the main form) based on a previous
field with predefined values?
For example I have 5 types of something and I want to ask different
questions for each type. How do I do this?

When you determine the need to change the Form shown in the Subform Control,
set the Subform Control's Source Form property. That will not "pop it up"
but will display it in the Subform Control.

Default Pop-up Forms

Well that limits my choices to 1 form only.
I might have formulate wrong from the start.
I want my pop-up form (subform) to automatically change depending on the 5
options I have in the combobox above. For example if I choose first option
then click on by pop-up form (or subform) I want to see one form, if I choose
the second option I want to use a different subform and so on.
Can I do that?
