Default Creating Relationships

I am a VERY novice Access user and attempting to build my company's first
database. I've created three tables to track our consultants:
Consultant Contact information: ID # name, phone number, address, email,
country of residence
Consultant Forms: ID #, name, CV, Biodata, LOC
Consultant Experience: ID#, name, sector, region, comments, languages

Ideally, I would like to be able to create a form with information from all
three tables into one form, but this hasn't worked each time I use the form
wizard to generate it. I can generate a form for each table but not the
tables collectively. I currently have the relationship as one to many with
the Consultant contact info as the parent table and the other 2 as the
children. I wanted to link them from Consultant ID # to name in the children
tables. I can't figure out why the relationship doesn't work and the form
can't be generated. One thing I did notice was that the Consultant ID #s are
inconsistent between tables despite referring to the same person. The parent
table starts with an ID # of 2 and I can't change it to one. Could this be
the trouble? I'd also like to be able to create searches by name, sector, or
language. Any help would be most appreciated.
