    Import Existing Fields into form

    Sorry, I feel stupid for asking this but how do import an existing field from one of my database tables into my form. What happened was that I added a new field to my database but cant seem to figure out how to import the new field to my form. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Are you saying that you added a new field to a table, and now you also want to add that same new field to your form?
    If so, what is the Control Source of your form? If it is the table that you just added the new field to, if you just click "Add Existing Fields" button from the Design menu, you should see that field available to you.
    If the Control Source of your form is a query, be sure to go into that query and add the new field in there too. Then it will be available to you on your form when you click "Add Existing Fields".
