I have created a table, from that table I created a form, I hav
modified the form in design mode, during the proces, in design,
modified field titles and also deleted some fields. I would like to ad
a field but when I return to the table from which I started the form i
still is the original form with the same fields. Please explain me ho
to add a field without changing my whole form
 
Fred,

I think it is important to realise that a form and a table are
completely separate and independent objects. Yes, you can have a form
which is bound to a table. Or you can have a form which is bound to a
query which is based on the table. In either case, your form may
include some of the fields from the table or query, but not others, and
it may contain controls where calculations are done based on the value
of fields in the table. As such, changing the design of the form will
have no impact at all on the table, and changing the design of the table
will have no impact at all on the form. If you have a form which is
based on a table, and you then need to include an additional field which
is not in the original table or form, then you need to first of all add
the field to the table design, and then after this you may add a control
to the form, which is bound to the new table field.
