[AccessD] Open diff forms based on number

Get the error:

The action or argument requires a FormName.

I made a table: tblDocumentTypes

TypeID: Autonumber
DocType: Z
FormName: frmServiceOrder

DocType: CPP
Formname: frmReview

Etc.

DoCmd.OpenForm DLookup("FormName", "tblDocumentTypes", DocType Like "'" &
[txtESO] & "*'")

It is not a continuos form, it is a form & subform (subform set to form).

Set up a key table

Z ; "frmServiceOrder"
CPP ; "frmReview"
etc

Assuming you are using a continuous form and the document number is in 
txtDocument:

Private Sub txtDocument_OnClick()

Docmd.Openform DLookup("FormName","tblDocumentTypes",DocType like '" & 
txtDocument & "*'"
