I am new to access and I cannot figure this out on my own. I first created a
table, then used autoform to create a form bound to that table. I have been
using the form for about 2 months to input data into the table. I recently
decided that I want to add a new field to my table, and I have done that
successfully. Now, I cannot figure out how to add a new control to my form
that is bound to this new field. Please help.

Click to expand...

Open the form in Design View and display it's property sheet.

Click on the Data tab.
Check the Recordset property line. If it is a table name then click on
the Field List Tool button. The field name will be there. Drag it onto
your form.

If the Recordset is an SQL or a Query, then click on that line and
open the SQL/query by clicking on the little button that appears on
that line.
Add the new field to the query from the table list.
Save the changes

You can then add the field to the form from the field list tool
button, as above.
