Hi Guys

Ive added a new column in a table but this is not showing within the control source selection. Am i missing something?
 
Works for me, either local or linked.
Can you explain your steps?
Have you closed and reopened Access? I did not need to except the db for linked table.
 
Table is already linked to a form and all boxes in form are bound by control source.
Added a new column within the table and set the format.
opened form in Design view and added a new box
attempted to bound the box in the control source selector
new table column not visible within control source options.
have saved and closed and still not visible.
 
Can you try and just type in the fieldname instead?
Upload the table and form?
 
Attempted to manually type the control name - Not working.

Table has new entry
PMI price box with manually typed control source not working
control source is not showing updated table field.
 
Upload a db with that form and table then?
Use this if private data is in there. In fact do not even need any data, just the table and form?
Edit: Is the table local or linked?

Well upload it and the form as something is sorely amiss.
Open a new blank DB and import that table and form. Then just for a laugh, see if it is still doing it before you upload that new DB.
 
View All Events opens frmTotals whose source is Projects?
Just create a form against PMI

Finally found PMISubform which *looks* like your pic.
That form's source is a query as below :(

Code:
SELECT PMI.PMIID, PMI.ProjectID, PMI.ACLPROJNUM, PMI.CLIENTNAME, PMI.JMAN, PMI.ISSDATE, PMI.PMIISSUEDBY, PMI.PMINUM, PMI.REFCLAUSE, PMI.DESCRIPTION, PMI.SIGNED, PMI.DATED
FROM PMI;

No mention of PMIPrice ?
You can only select fields from the form source if the controls are bound.
