Hi there

Is there a way to automatically update a form after I have changed the table
the form was based on (e.g., adding or deleting a field).

I know how to manually add or delete afield in the design view for forms.
Just wanted to see if there is an easier way.

Thanks!
 
No you would need to open the form in design view and make changes. The
table that the form is based on has no relationship to the actual form design
just the data that the form displays.

To delete a field simply open the form in design view select the field and
press delete then save (make SURE you want to do this before you save ??)

Hope this helps
 
Just had a thought is you delete that field in the base table thenthe field
will be still be on the form but as an unbound field box (you will still need
to delete it)
