Walter-
Close, but no cigar. In the Book table, the key would be:
TableType: "Book"
ID: AutoNumber
In the child table, the keys would be:
TableType: String
ID: Long Integer
In the Book table, make the Default value of TableType "Book". Include that
field in the recordset of the form, but you don't have to show it on the outer
form. Set the Link Child / Link Master properties: TableType; ID

John;
are you saying to use a calculated field of tabletype "Book" + str(autonumber)
to create a PKey in the parent form?
and do the same for the subform "CollInfo" + str(autonumber)?
An example would help a lot.
