Form/Subform Data Entry/Synchronization

Application is a survey data entry form containing several sections with more data elements than can be contained on a single form.

Desired solution: make each section its own table linked in a one-to-one relationship on a record_id field. Create a subform for each table. Then create a Master Form to which each of the subforms are linked. When a new record_id is entered into the Master Form (its only element), a new record would be created for each table with this record_id and data could be entered via the subforms.

Problem: Data synchronization.

Questions: Is it possible to achieve the desired goal with little or no VBA coding? If possible, what would a sample of the code look like?
 
Why the problem is data sinchronization?
You're saying that after the main form its being filled with the id all child forms will get that id. am i right?
If so. this is the smaller of your problems.
You don't want code involved, enven so, i belive is possible you can achive your goal with many macros and MANY different kinds of qrys, (append, delete, update etc) as needed. But that's somethign that i honestly wont recommend.

Good luck

Estuardo
