As soon as I click on the Link Child Fields, I get the following error:

The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't
exist.

I never even get to enter an expression!
 
At this point, you are looking at the properties of the subform control. Is
there anything in the SourceObject property? I can't recall trying, but you
may not be able to set the LinkMasterFields/LinkChildFields if no
SourceObject has been defined.

If that's not the issue, check that the subform specified in the
SourceObject property has a RecordSource, and that there are compatible
field types between this and the fields of the main form.
