Subform linked to form - ID number to come into subform?

[CarolD]

I am an Access novice with no VB experience.
I have created a form (Software Register) with a subform (Licence No). The
related tables have a relationship defined with Software_ID_No.
The subform has the Child and Master fields with Software_ID_NO and moves
with the form if I manually enter the Software_ID_No.
How do I get the subform to automatically show the main form's
Software_ID_No, and also record it in the subform's table.
If you can answer this, please do it in steps

If you create a relationship between the two tables in the Relationships
window, when you drop your subform (based on License) into your main form
(based on Software), the LinkChild and LinkMaster properties of the subform
should be filled in for you. If they are not, you should be able to select
the fields that link the two tables. Then the subform should work properly.
