Enter a value from one table into new record

I've just got FileMaker 7. I'm from an Access background so please be easy with me :-)

I have a Customer and a Bookings table. I need to open the Boooking Tables Layout and create a new Booking record from a button on the Customer Layout. I need the CustomerID in the Booking Table to be the same as the ID in the Customer Table so the records are related.

Easy in Access. Can't seem to find how to do it in FileMaker.

I take it the user clicks a add Booking Button or something while in the Customer layout. If so.

Either set a parameter or use a global field to store the ID then change layouts add new record and set the CustomerID field with the value from the paramenter or global field. I could post an example if you need further help.
