Trying to add data to a form, I add a Text Box, attempt to select the
ControlSource (named BirthDate) but that source is not in the list.
I have other date fields (JoinedDate) and it shows as a ControlSource.
I thought perhaps "BirthDate" was a reserved word so I changed it
to something else. It still does not appear as a ControlSource.
 
If you go edit->view->field list, then all the data fields available for the
form can be viewed.

Likely, you have based the form on a query, and that query does not have
those extra fields. So, check the query, or data souce you are suing for the
form.
 
That's exactly what it was, the field was not included in the query used.
Thanks.
Earl
