    Question Updating a form after a new field was added to a table

    I have just added a field (specifically a date field) to a table. The form that is created already for that table does not have that object in it. How do I add it manually without needing to delete the form and doing it from scratch again using the wizard(yes I'm very new lol) Thanks!

    You can add a textbox to the form, and set its control source to the new field.
