To have the "View details" standard context menu, the following must be true:

  1. The foreign key (FK) must have a relation defined on the table of the key
  2. The table pointed to by the FK must have a form
  3. The form must have a display menu item
  4. The menu item must have the same name as the table or the FormRef property must be set
  5. The menu item must have security set up, and the user must have read access (or better)

Running the Best Practice check will usually spot the errors.

This blog entry explains it nicely.

You have to create Display Menu Item with the selected form.

Then you can set newly created menu item for the FormRef property of the Table.
