Is it possible to update a form after making changes to an associate table built from a query, or do I have to delete the form and start over.

thanks,

Hi

No need to rebuild the form, you can simply open it in design view and amend it. Indeed if the chnages to the table do not impact the form, eg say you have added a new column to the table, but that column is not used on the form, you need do nothing

Follow-on If you need to see the new column, add a textbox then right-click on it, select Properties, click the Data tab and change the ControlSource by selecting the name of the new column from the drop-down list.
