I have created a form in Access using the wizard, however I have now realised
that I have missed out a field how do I add this field without having to do
the whole form again?
 
After adding the field to your table, open your form in design view.
Show the Field List (View menu).
Drag the new field from the field list onto your form.

If you want the field to slot in between others choose Tab Order from the
View menu to define where it fits in.
 
Lissot,
I just wanted to add a comment to Allen's response.
After adding a field to your table, open your form in Design View, and
check out the RecordSource property for the form.
If you've indicated the table itself as the RecordSource that's goodness.
If you have a query as the RecordSource, open that query in Design Grid,
and make sure that you've dragged that new field onto the grid.
This will ensure that your new field will show up on the "Field List"
Allen refers to.
