Default How to use forms with subforms for data entry?

I know how to set up a form and a subform. Why I don't know is how to
set them up for data entry.

I have a form with subform, but the subform displays completely blank
because it doesn't have a record to display.
These forms are based on tables with a one-to-one relationship and
they are linked on the ids. I want to use subforms because I need my
form to save to more than 1 table.

Any hints or pointers of how to use forms with subforms for data
entry? Thanks.

Be sure the Allow Edits property is set to Yes and the Data Entry property to
No.

Thanks, Ray. I have all of that, but it still doesn't work. The
subform still shows up blank.

Any other ideas?
