Text box control source

[Guest]

I have a form that is based on a table I have been using for a while. I have
recently added a new field to that table and I'm now trying to create a text
box in this form that is based on this new field. The form was originally
created with the form wizard. I've tried various expressions in the control
source for this text box, but have not been successful in establishing a link
between the text box in my form with the new field in my table. Any
suggestions on what I'm doing wrong and how I can correct this? Thanks.

There is a drop down list provided in the control source, simply expand the
drop down and select the correct field. If it is not in the list, then you
need to double check your forms record source. It may be based on a queary
instead, and the field needs to be added to the query. If everything is
correct the control source for the textbox will be the name of the new field
as it appears in the table.

Hi Ray -- In design view for the form, open the field list and drag the new
field onto the form.
