add new record from subform

Hi Guys

I m going crazy with a simple subform

Main form
IDMain
date

Subform
ID
IDLink
field 1
field 2

relationship 1 to many enforced

I am displaying both forms and link field is IDMain --> IDLink

when i add a record in the subform, it is supposed save it and when i click new record on the main form it should create the id and add that id to the linked field in the subform, but that is not happening.
all other info is created in the subform but the linked field.

what is happening i have done this many times with no issues but now its taking me too long to figure it out what is happening.

Please help

thanks

the issue was that in the master i had 2 fields id and date, id was autonumber, date default value was set to now(), but because i did not change the date it was not creating a record on the master table- so when adding a new record i have to set the date in the field by code, set the focus in that control so the user must click on it so it could create the record, sounds a little weird, but it is because in the master i only have 1 field.
