subform not showing data

I created a tab control on a form to hold multiple subforms. I dragged the
form onto the tab control to create the subform. When I look at records
entered, only the main form shows data. I have another form/subform (only
not on a tab) which works fine and I've been unable to find any differences
in the setup. Can someone tell me what I'm missing?
Thanks!

Well it has nothing to do with the TabControl. That has no affect on how a
subform behaves. It is just a way to control form real estate.

I would check the MasterLink and ChildLink properties of the subform control.

Does the form inside the subform control display records if you open it by
itself?
 
No it doesn't.

The data entry property was set to yes. I changed it to no and that solved
the problem.
Thanks again!
