Adding a New Field to an existing Form

I could really use some help with a problem I am having. I am trying
to add a new field to an existing form that combines two tables into
one form. In this same databse I have another form that exists off of
1 table and when I add a new field into the table I have no problem
adding into the corresponding form. However when I add a new field to
one of the following tables:
- Employee List & Main Profile tables (This is what the combined form
is based off of)
Basically i added a new field to Main Profile and wanted to add it
into my form as a combo box. However when I go to add it to the form
and get the wizard and it lists the fields that I can store the values
in it does not list my newly created fields just the old original
ones. What are the resaons for this and hwo do I remedy it? I hope
that I explained this in a somewhat cognizant way.

Thank You,
Tony

When you are using Fields from two Tables on a Form, the Form's Record
Xource is either a Query or an SQL Statement. A new Field in the underlying
Tables isn't automatically added. In Design View, click on the RecordSource
property of the Form in the Property Sheet, then click on the little box
with three dots and update the RecordSource, which will be shown in a
QueryBuilder window.

Hello All, I have these tables (lets call it ‘EmpCalls', ‘EmpOrders', and ‘Stats') that each contain the list of EmployeeIDs, I want to be able to create a Module in which I could call in my VB form (by clicking and command button)that will add a column (field) to each table and label it with the current date that is specified in my form. Does anyone know how I can go about doing this? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

I have a subform which represents a 1:N relationship with the main form. I would like to be able to read values from an external file, fill the subform with the values read & allow the user to view/edit the values via the subform. I thought this would be accomplished using a simple loop; read values, assign the various fields of the subform & repeat for each row of the subform. Seems this is not possible, or at least I have been unable...

This is probably a simple thing to do, but I can't find how in the help files or the manual I have. I'm using Access 2000. I have three tables joined by a common field, and I'm using one form to enter data into all of them. The form was created using the form wizard. I need to add new fields to one of the tables, and consequently, to the form. I can add the fields to the table, but not to the form. I've done this before with a form...

I'm wondering if adding an autonumber primary key will improve the performance of a multiuser access database on a network share. I have a website that lists many tips for improving performance of access, but doesn't mention primary keys. However, it seems logical to think that having no primary key means that when a user updates a record, the database has to do comparisons on multiple fields to identify the specific record being...

I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me with this. From my limited knowledge of Javascript I don't think it is possible, but I'll punt anyway. I downloaded and very slightly adapted this guy's Javascript "combo box" - http://sandy.mcarthur.org/javascript/select/select.html. It allows my users (when I get some!) to select from a list of preexisting options and also to add a new one by clicking on "add new". Essentially it's a select...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
