I am a newbie who is trying to create one large database to use as the basis
for several forms, in lieu of entering data in several Excel spreadsheets,
for a job placement firm. The idea is to use the large database to enter all
necessary information, and create forms for each scenario the company needs
(pending jobs, jobs in search stage, placed candidates, and closed jobs.) I
have successfully created tables to use for drop-down boxes in several fields
(internal employee names, job titles, reasons for delays at certain stages of
job placement). I have not based anything on queries or calculations. I
created test records, and the form looks fabulous. However, I now need to add
fields to the main table, and when I do that the new fields do not appear in
the design view of the form, so I cannot include the new information that we
need. Any light you can shine on my lack of knowledge would be greatly
appreciated. (FYI, I got the Access 2003 Bible from recommendations on this
site, and it has been a great resource.)
