Adding field to existing form

[ashiq73]

Hello,

I am a newbie when it comes to modifying existing forms for Access 2016 or Access in general actually.

I am using an existing template for Microsoft Access 2016 called "Updated Event Management"

I simply want to do the following:

The existing table/form has the following:

- Title
- Start Time
- End Time
- Description
- Location
- Attachments


I want to add or modify the following fields:

- Change Description to "Work Shop Type"
- Add "Attendance" this can be numerical numerical of course
- Add "Sponsor"
- Add "Created By"

So I was able to go to the table and add/modify the table and then the form.

But when I bring up the "Event Details" form, it does not display the changes that I made, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know this must be a really simple thing to do.

it HAS to bring up your changes IF you did edit that very same form,
you dragged and dropped the fields onto the form,
you did not alter the textboxes by making them invisible.
you saved the changes.

Hello,

Thanks for replying.

So I added one field, Attendance to the table.

Dragged it to the form in Design View.

When I bring up the form to input data, I do not see the Attachment field anywhere.

I will post a screen shot.

If you look at the Form's RecordSource (Properties - Data - Record Source) do you see the name of the Form, or a SQL Statement? If a SQL Statement, is the new Field included?

I have gone ahead and created a new DB from scratch with exactly what I need on there.

Thanks for all the help.
