Several guys are forced to update several queries (mostly for new fields) and I wonder if we must create forms again OR if there's a way to update existing forms.

Edit design of forms and reports and code.

Why are new fields added?

Some add several new fields into the SQL server and also add those fields into existing SQL queries.

It's becoming a pain to always revise forms when this occur.

Why do fields have to be added? If this is a recurring periodic event then something is wrong with data structure.

Just add the new fields to the form ?
Plus of course any other associated code required for them?

As the others have said. If this is a one time problem, just change the queries and the forms and move on. If this is a repeating group that you keep adding to and this is a recurring problem, Then you should fix the problem by getting rid of the repeating group and properly normalizing the schema.
