Changing properties of field but not updating on form

Hi

OK - this is a real newbie question, so apologies as I can't seem to find it
on the forums. I have a problem when I've designed and set up my forms, but I
then make a change to a field in the underlying table (such as changing the
input mask, or adding a format) - the change doesn't translate to the
field/control on the form unless I physically remove it in design view, and
then replace it again from the field list. Is there an easier way to
accomplish this when I make a change to a field's properties in the table?
I'm sure I must be missing something fundamental and any help would be
appreciated.....

Many thanks in advance

I believe the feature that propagates those changes from the field to
dependant objects such as form controls was added in a later version than
Access 2000. (I think it was Access 2002, but I'm not certain - it could
have been Access 2003).
