I have looked at every imaginable place to find the "refresh" button or
command in the "FORM" design section of Access. I am trying to refresh the
"Field" list. Can anyone please help me. The help section only says it
should be in the field list toolbar and shows the button, but I don't see it
anywhere.

Thanks a lot!
 
I'm not sure on what you want to refresh, if you are trying to refresh the
form, then try

Me.Requery

Will help, if you tell us what exactly are you trying to refresh, is it a
form, or a list box in the form, and when do you wnt to refresh the list
 
not sure what the problem is. did you change the RecordSource of the form
while in form design view, but the Fields box in design view does not show
the change? there is no "Refresh" in form design view. the Fields list
should change automatically and immediately when you change the form's
RecordSource. but if it isn't updating, save and close the form from design
view, then reopen in design view - the Fields list should be populated
correctly. if you're using A2000 or later, suggest you go to Tools | Options
from the database window, click on the General tab in the Options dialog,
and remove the checkmark next to the "Track name AutoCorrect info" option.
click OK, then compact your database. (this may or may not have an effect,
but is worth doing regardless, because the Name AutoCorrect feature causes a
lot of problems - many of them seemingly unrelated to the feature.)

Tina, Thanks for trying to help me. I tried the removing check from Track
Name....but it didn't help.

Here is the exact problem:
In a form.....I am trying to actually get rid of two fields that show up
under "field list" that are no longer in my table. The help section says to
use the refresh command that is on the toolbar, but I can't find the icon
anywhere.

The problem shows up when I want to enter my form and it says "Enter
parameter value" for both of the fields that are no longer in the table. I
believe if I refresh the field list under "design view" that this problem
would go away.

I am very new to this and appreciate any help you can give me. TIA
 
Perhaps the recordsource is a query. If so, delete from the query the fields
that have been eliminated from the table.
