Probably an easy form question from a newbie

This question is probably something really simple, but I
am not too familiar with Access 2k. So far all of my
efforts are in vein. Any help or even a shot-in-the-dark
guess would be greatly appreciated.

I have a form with several combo boxes that have table
values for their source. One of these combo boxes is
called 'CountyID'. 'CountyID' points to a
table 'Counties' with the corresponding value 'County'.

The form also has two subforms, one of which comes before
the combo box on the form. My problem is unless I have a
value in the combo box 'CountyID' I cannot enter data in
the subforms. When I click the subform I get the
error "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find a
record in the table 'Counties' with the matching field
(s) 'CountyID'" I have tried to set a default value to
the combo box, but I don't think it is being applied.

Again, any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

Chris
