I have created a form. I later added items to the table that the form refers
to. How do I add those items to the form? Right now, all I have found is to
recreate the form with all of the correct table items. This is a real pain
as you loose spacing and formating and it seems to want to start the records
over at 1.

Click to expand...

Open the form in design view, modify the RecordSource if it does not already
include the added fields, and then drag the new fields from the field list to
your form. Access will automaticaly create controls for them.
 
you have to add new field manually, but you can can copy format, you can
automatically adjust spacing and size of controls. Look at menu and
toolbar - there are lot of tool there
