John,

Go to the database window, open the relationships window and create a
relationship between GameID in both tables. Now open your main form in design
view and select the subform control. Open properties, go to the data tab and set
the linkmaster and linkchild properties to GameID.

You don't need your code in the OnChange event so delete it. When you make an
entry for Pick in the subform, GameID in the subform will be automaticaaly
assigned the same value as GameID in the main form. SelectionID will be
automatically assigned a value when the record is saved.

Did you link the subform to the mainform using the Links Child Fields and
Link Master Fields properties of the subform control? Open the main form in
design view, click on subform control, open Properties, click on Data tab,
and type GameID into both properties. That should accomplish what you want.
