I am attempting to add a text box to form that has a linked table. Unable to
proceed, do to the addition not being allowed because of the table being
linked.
Waring message "XYZ is a linked table with some properties that can't be
modified."

There is nothing about a form being bound to a linked table that will prevent
adding more TextBoxes. Now if what you are trying to do is add a field to the
linked table so that you can THEN bind a new TextBox on the form to that field
then yes, you would get an error message attempting to do that.

You need to open the file where the linked table "lives" and add the field
there. Your link will then see it (usually). If not just refresh the link
using the linked table manager.
