I have been asked to help with making some changes to a pre-established
Access DB and have run into some problems.

First, they wanted a new field added to an existing form. The form runs off
of a single large table. I have added the field to the design of the table
and saved it, but when going back to the form and adding the text box the
newly added field doesnt appear in the drop down of available fields to bind
the box to. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
 
Most likely the form is based on a query, not the table. Look at the form's
property box and find out what the data source is. you can click on the
builder button (...) right there and it will open up and let you add the
field.

If the database is split, you may have to re-link that table on your front end.
