I am trying to create a database with tabbed forms. How do I link the common ID and Name of person so that it shows up on each tab when it is opened? I already have the fields on each tab but I am unable to figure out the parent child link. Thank you for your help.

I hope I can make this clearer. I have a form with several tabs, the parent tab is the child's demographics. with name, ID, address, etc. I have the next tab with information about school activities,such as classes, hobbies. On both Child's demographics tab and Child school activities i have the ID, how do I get the ID to automatically show up on the School activities tab after typing it into the Child demographics tab without having to retype it. Thank you.
You do not seem to be using subforms, so you can put the control on the parent form and it will show though all tabs. If you are using subforms, you should set the Link Child and Link Master fields. Alternatives would include saving the record, but this may not be a suitable idea.
