How to update the "field list" for an existing Form ??

[pusinque]

Hi Folks,

I have decided to copy and modify the microsoft "CONTACTS" database for my own client records. I have changed the title of a field in the table relating to the Form, and added another field or two, and saved the result to disk.

However, when I go into the Form, and view the "field list", it has not updated to the new design. I notice that if I go to create a new Form, then the new fields are available to include in the Form.

Is there a way of making table modifications known to an existing Form, or, once a from is created, does one have to create a new Form if one changes the table design?

The "refresh" dropdown menu item does nothing for the Form's knowledge.

Your advice would be invaluable ??

Change the "Control Source" property on the Data tab for the offensive control.

Wow, that was quick..!!!

Thanks for your answer. The dropdown field list available to the "control source" property of, eg, a text box, is the same as the field list. It also does not recognise any change in the field list. Must be someit to cause a refresh action.

regards.
