Walter-
That's not a 1-1 relationship. For starters, IDCollectionsInfo cannot be
AutoNumber in the subform table. If all the Parent tables have an AutoNumber
PKey, you cannot build the relationship. You would need a PKey in each "parent"
table that is perhaps a combination of table type and a unique number - that
unique number could be AutoNumber. The PKey in the child table would have to be
TableType and a Long Integer field to match the AutoNumber. TableType could be
a field not displayed with a different default value in each Parent table. You
could then set up the subform to have Link Master / Link Child settings using
both the TableType and Number fields in both tables.

John;
The key fields for the "Parent" tables are an auto number, however I have a
number field in each "parent" forms table called "idCollectionInfo" This needs
the value of the subforms table Key field "IDCollectionsInfo" also an auto
number field to link the 2 records together.
(sorry I use the same names I just capitalize "ID" when it is a key field)
Apparently I need some sort of query inserting that subform key field value
"IDCollectionInfo" into the parent forms table receiving field
"idCollectionInfo"
I don't know just how to format the query or what event on the parent form to
place it into.
