MS Access Forms working 1-to-1 Relationships with Multiple Sub-Forms

I'm working on a Master Access Databases with A General Form and several Subforms. My issue is that I want the Access Information, Contact Information, and Financial Information Subforms to the General Information Form to have 1-to-1 relationhips. However, when I try this by with or without enforcing referential integrity, the information on the subform is showing up on all the records and the option to add more records is there (when it shouldn't be).

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Also, I get an error, when I try to update the Financial tab. My relationship and error pics are attached.

I'm looking forwards to your responses, I've been trying to figure out on my own for over a week :(

Thanks All, All comments were combined in my solution. I moved some information to the main table that I had issues with... I added primary keys to the subforms and then updated the subform tables with the General_Account_ID as a foreign key. I created relationships with the primary and foreign keys between the tables (not sure if exactly correct, but seems to be working so far). In the subforms, it will continue to allow the 1:Many relationships, but that is not a major factor -- I'll just remember to add only one record and multiple if needed in the future (for flexibility).

- Thanks again, Chris
