Joel,

Assuming that the second form you are opening is based
on the second table AND that there is no corresponding
contactID in the second table... On the second form, put
in for the default of the contactID from the first form.

defaultvalue =[forms]![form1]![contactID]

This will populate it with the contactID if it does't
exist.
