I have been using an Access database to manage my contacts for about ten years now. I have often updated the table by adding new data items (fields) with no problems. I have updated the associated FORMS, and the new data item(s) have always been visible to the forms. Today, I tried to add a new field to the table, which was apparrently successful, but when I try to modify the associated FORM to enable data entry to the new field, the FORM does not see the new field.
If I produce a totally new FORM, the new filed is visible to it.

What has changed? I am using XP SP2, with ACCESS 2002 SP3. I have tried all the tricks I know, but I cannot solve this one. Help, please!
 
Are you basing the form on a query? if so you have to update your query to include the new field
