About the master/detail form styles
The master/detail one-to-many and master/detail many-to-one form styles each
have two sources of data, one for the master area and one for the detail area.
The data for both the master area and the detail area can be updatable.
If you want to be able to insert new rows in a form, you must include all
columns that have been defined in the database as requiring values.
For example, if you are using Quick Select and have not selected all columns

using the Quick Select data source.
