Will a table auto update if you edit the form?

[Denise]

The rookie's at it again:

Forms
Assets
Click depreciation
Now I'm in the depreciation form
If I edit the layout, adding new fields and
deleting others, will the "Assets" table which
is the source for all the other fields on this
form update automatically?

I'm almost home but I can't source 2 of the columns in my
report because the fields I need are now on the form but
not in the table.

Can I insert the columns in the table and link them
somehow?

Thanks!

Denise,

If you want to add, change, remove fields in a table, you will have to
do it in design view of the table. Placing a control on a form which is
bound to a table will not add a field to the table... all it does is add
an unbound control to the form. Once you have adjusted your table
design as required, then you can use controls on the form or report
which are bound to the new fields in the table. Hope that makes sense.
