Hi,

Can someone tell me how I can add fields to a Microsoft Access form? I know
how to add fields to a Microsoft Access table using the MFC classes
CDaoDatabase etc., but I don't know how to update an Access form.

Please help.
 
You must open the form in design view and use the CreateControl method.
There is an example in Help.

Having to create controls at run-time is messy. I would recommend having an
invisible control that can be made visible when necessary.
 
Sorry, I probably was not clear about my question. Basically, I have this
Access database and I can add rows of information to a table in the database
using the MFC classes CDaoDatabase CDaoRecordset etc. using Visual C++. I
need to add a subset of these rows of information to an existing form. So my
question is, how do I do that from C++ code?
 
I'm not sure this is any clearer. You don't add rows to forms. Your forms
display rows of data/records from tables/queries. You can use DAO or SQL to
append records to a table but this has nothing to do with forms.
