MS Access 2003 - how to add fields from different tables in one form

New to MS Access 2003. I'm trying to add fields from many different tables to one form. Can it be done? and if so how? Finding the answer is not as obvious as would have hoped. Please help. :)

You'll have to create a query based on the tables you want, and then base your form on the query. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think if the query is based on more than one table, it won't be updateable...I could be wrong. If you're looking to be able to update information on this form, you may want to look into creating a subform.
