Subform question

Question:
I have three tables:
1) customer (customer data)
2) extension log (customer data, date extension received, date extension granted)
3) contact log (date, purpose of call from each extension record) -> one extension log record can have many calls.

Steps:
1) customer will request for an extension to submit payment
2) request is entered in extension log for that customer
3) we created one or more record of communications regarding the extension in contact log, for example:
1/1/15 received an extension request;
1/15/15 follow up with more info;
1/20/15 received more info;
1/27/15 granted extension

I would like to see on one Extension Log Form, the customer date; however, I want the contact log to be at underneath the Extension Log form. Is that possible?

I linked the extension log ID with ExtenID on Contact Log, it works separately, but not as subform.
What is the mistake?

Thanks

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
When you say "I would like to see on one Extension Log Form, the customer date" I think you mean extension date since you make no mention of a date in the customer table.
You can use either a split form or a main form with a subform. I'm not real fond of the split form.
For a main form/subform configuration, the main could have the extension details related to a customer by choosing that customer from an unbound combo box. The subform could be a datasheet, single form or continuous form with the log details. As a single, you'd only see one log record at a time. If you want the log details to be read only, you have to design to prevent edits.
