    Sub-Forms Don't work after linking tables

    I am migrating MS access 2000 application into MS access 2010 front-end and SQL Server 2012 express back-end.
    The front-end talks to the back-end via ODBC based Linked tables.

    The application has 1 Parent table and 5 Child tables with 1 to Many relationships.


    The application has 1 Form for Parent table and 5 pages within it, each with its own sub-forms for child tables.

    After the migration, I can enter data in the Main Form(Parent Table) but CANNOT ENTER ANY DATA in the sub-form (Child tables)
    The check-box, text-box, combo box on the sub-forms with control source in the Child table refuses to work.

    Any Clues ???

    Thanks.

    I am adding Additional Information:
    The Main Form has multiple Pages/Tabs.
    3 Pages/Tabs have sub-forms within it WHICH ARE WORKING.
    2 Pages/Tabs have fields from Child table within it.....WHICH ARE NOT WORKING.
    The child table fields are joined to the Master table through a query on the main form.

    Is it not working because of the Join - you cannot update tables in SQL server via JOIN ???
    Do I need to bind each child table field via a query.

    Yes you need to write some code to transfer an id into subforms and populate the controls in the sub forms.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
