Form to SubForm

[Teri B]

Guys I have a Parent form that links to my child form. My parent form is the user details the field I am working with is the Contact ID Field.
So what I am doing is the user opens the form from a search window they select the contact and the contact ID field populates their details Name, address, phone etc. The sub for which is imbedded populates with assigned record information. The linking field is the Contact ID of the parent form and the contact ID of the child form. All works great! :)

Now to the issue. On the child form, I have an add new button, this button takes the user to a new record entry screen, that works. the parent form information is still populated correctly and the child form is now blank ready for new data entry. Problem is the contact ID field of the child field is blank, I would like this field to always be tied to the information in the parent form.
so for example the parent record selected: contactID 1. new entry child form: I want the default of the child contact ID to be the value that is in the Parent contact ID. is this possible?
