Changing Task Template

[Moosh]

Hi all,



This is a desperate cry for help, I have 2 weeks to finish this task and I am completely stuck.

I am a basic Access user and have always used templates without any issues.

Now I have been asked to design a form to track actions, the issue I have is that the task template does not provide enough detail.
My task detail need to have 12 columns, I know how to add extra fields but the task list form that links up with the task table and reports seems to be my issue.

My question is how do I get the form to link up with the extra fields I added to the task table as well as showing the same tables in the reports.

I need an exact replica of the task template except I need to add 7 more fields that link up with the task detail form so I can track these tasks.
The extra fields, are yes, no as well as dates and comments, noting to complicated.

any help will be much appreciated, I am desperate, I don't understand the Technical side of Access
I am using Access 2016.

Thank you

Lady in distress

can you not just drag and drop the fields on the form (via ADD EXISTING FIELDS button on toolbar)?

Hi,
Thank you for the reply, I have had a look and I am unable to see what you mean? I don have add existing fields on my toolbar.

Sorry if I sound a bit uneducated with access but I am

If you are unsure of how to deal/design/test forms, then go to youtube and watch some videos. Don't overlook Google/Bing to find answers to questions. Also, you indicted a deadline in 2 weeks, but have indicated what the project really is; what are the requirements; what your current design is....
