creating a subform

hi ,

i have create a form with subform here.
it looks like this :

Emp Name : _______ ID no: _________
Age : ______
-------------------------------------------------
No. Product Cost Quantity
1. ______ _____ _______
2. ______ _____ _______
3. ______ _____ _______
and so on ...
-------------------------------------------------

The form inside the dotted area is the subform while emp name, ID and age is in the main form.
My purpose is let the user do not need to key in the name, ID and age for many times. There will be many information to be filled up in the subform.
So how am I going to do if i want to save the subform information together with the main form in a same record?
Anybody has any idea for this?
Thanks.

Typically you will link the two forms together using the unique ID from each form. In your subform, click on the properties Data tab and then use the wizard to link the subform to your main form using the Link Child, Link Master properties.

i created the form but the main form and the subform save the keyin information to seperate record, that means the main form save as an individual record and the subform save as another individual record. Why would this happen? i want to save the form in only a record so that i can retrieve it in the same form later.
