A field name from a table cannot be seen as an option when creating a subform

**Mike0802** · 04-19-2017, 04:07 AM

Hi there.

I am a novice user and could do with some help please.

I am trying to build a database for use by our estimating team.

In short I have a field name in a table (Image 1) which when I go to create a sub form is not given as an option to add (Image 2)

Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

Appreciate any advice, cheers

That is odd.
In form design, can you grab a textbox control,
put it on the form, then in the control source, type TRADE?

in image 2 you are showing the bottom of the list - what is at the top? because I can't see ID, CompanyName etc either
