Subform in Tab Control not updating linked fields

I have a form where users enter/edit/view related information in tabs. Some of my tabs are behaving correctly, some or not. By this I mean, when the user is in the edit form for a record, and would like to add a detail found in a subform (within a tab) the item can be selected but not saved. I am getting a message that a required field in the subform source table is missing. The required fields are usually hidden from the user. I unhid them to try to trouble shoot. The fields seem to be updating correctly when I add the new detail in the form, but when I move to a new record within that form, or try to navigate away to a new tab the message appears. Opening the source table, it is missing the linked field in the table. Why would it not be adding this data to the table?
 
Are the LinkMasterFields and LinkChildFields properties of the subform properly assigned ?

Hope This Helps, PH.
