Question : Parent/Child/Child relationships in forms and sub-forms

I have a “tabbed” database form which is the main student record.

One of the tabs (called university applications, whose records are housed in a separate table) has a sub-form placed on it from which the user can either press the hyperlinked word “New” to create a new application or “Edit” to log details about the progress of that application.  The relationship between the student table and the university applications table is one-to-many, with the parent (student)/child records (university applications) linked.

I now have to log two different types of tuition fee payment against the university that has accepted the student:

1.  Payment of a small deposit as a condition of receiving an offer; and/or
2.  Payment of the first years tuition fees

Some students will only pay the first years tuition fees, but some students will have to pay an offer deposit as well as the first years tuition fees.

I have created a tab called “deposit”, which has a sub-form placed on it which I planned would work in the same way as the “university applications” sub-form.

However, how do I link the one/two (child) records relating to the tuition payment(s) to the university application (child) and, subsequently to the parent student record?
