Unbound text box, how to make it Bound

[Benson]

This is probably a rookie question....

How do I make a textbox 'Bound?'

Creating a text box on a form (w/o using a Wizard) defaults a text box to Unbound (not linked to a db table). To make the textbox 'Bound', according to Access Help, bring up the textbox's properties, and choose a column name from the Control Source property.

However, doing so yields me nothing. The Control Source's property box is empty.

I would greatly appreciate anyone's help with this.

Delete the text box, drag the control you want from the field list displayed when you open the form in design mode drop the text box where you want it.
HTH

Any chance anyone could expand on this a little bit??? I don't see a 'field list' to drag and drop any control from when I am in Design mode.

Help, anyone????
