I create all of the reports for my company and always do them in excel. This
time I would like to create one in access for our receiving scheduler. I am
using the Scheduling database that access already has. I need to add more
colums to one of the forms and have not been able to successfully create one
that shows up on the reservations form. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you create a new field or fields in a table? You then need to make sure
the Record Source property of the report's record source contains the new
fields.

Access is NOT A BIG VERSION OF EXCEL.

An Access table is not a spreadsheet, and doesn't work like one.
Applying spreadsheet logic to a relational database is going to give
you nothing but headaches!

Adding more columns is routine in spreadsheets, but should be done
rarely and with considerable thought in a table; and it must be done
in either a table or a query prior to adding new controls to a form or
report.

Could you describe the table structures you are now using, and what
information you need to add that you do not now have?
