Open the table in design view. Go to the bottom of the list and type in
the name of your new field.

First, you add a field to the table that the form draws its data from. If
there is a query between the table and the form, you will also need to make
sure that the query displays the new field. Next, open the form in design
view and add the desired control to the form. In the Properties for the
control go to the Data tab and set the Control Source to the new field.
