how to populate subform fields based on parent form?

Hello
I am using MS Access 2003.
I have a parent form based on parent table which contains unique ID field( primary key) which i enter first on the parent form. Parent table also contains fields as-- surname, name, DOB.

This form is linked to child form ( based on another table. we will call this- child table )the linking field for two tables is unique ID. child form also contains fields - surname, name and DOB and other fields unique to this child table)

Both forms open at the same time.

To enter the data- i start with parent form, entering unique ID and rest of fields...

When i go to the subform, uniqueID is automatically populated on the subform but not surname name and DOB fields..
How can i achieve this please?

thanks
