Default Subforms

I have a mainfrom "Individuals". On this form it
simply shows the individuals name in the form header. I have a subform
"Individuals subform" it displays details of Christmas ornaments -ie Name,
description, Comments, A photo, etc. on the Indivdual subform I have another
form "Ornaments1" It basically is a datasheet view of info from the same
table (Ornaments Table) as the ind. subform data comes from. This datasheet
form displays only the ornament year and Ornament name.

I want to be able to look at an individual in the main form - see a list of
all their ornaments. Click on an ornament in the list and see the details of
that ornament. All the info described would be seen in one form / subforms
all at one time. Not via opening other forms.

The Ornaments1 list is linked to the main form key "Individual Id" and it
shows a list of all the ornaments belonging to the individual record in the
main. The individuals subform is also linked to the mainform key "individual
Id" and it shows all appropriate data. This all works fine for the first
ornament for each individual. Obviously when I select another ornament in the
list the detailed info part of the form remains on the first ornament.

I need to link the ornament list to the main form via the "individual Id" as
a child and I need to link the ornament list to the individual subform via
the "ornament Id" as a Master.

Can you link a subform to two different forms - one as a master and one as a
child?

Or do I need to approach this in a different way
