Designing new database... when creating text box, getting "error" appearing

The textbox needs to be bound to a table field.

Are you perhaps making the rather common error of creating a Form first?
Don't. Forms are *just tools*, windows onto the data in Tables. You must
create and properly relate your tables first, and *then* base forms on those
Tables.
