Hello, If I need to add a new field to a table and the form is already build do I need to rebuild the form already in order to include this new field?

If not waht do I need to do in order to get this to work.

Thanks,
Hector
 
All you need to do is add the field to the table, then in your form, place a Textbox where you want the field to be displayed, and set the textbox's "Control Source" property to the name of the new field.

I tried doing that but it still keeps giving me errors... I don't even see the field show up on the fields available...
 
if your form is based on a table, you add a field to that table, then try to set a control source property to that field, you should be able to see it in the list of available fields. What are the errors you're getting?
