Adding forgotten fields to an existing form

“

- [Narrator] Nobody's perfect, so it's a good thing Access makes it easy to add fields you forgot to include when you designed your form. Here we have a form for adding classes to the schedule, but I've forgotten the ClassTime field. So I'm going to switch to Design View and add it using the Add Existing Fields button found on the Design tab. The Add Existing Fields dialogue box offers all the fields in the table or tables currently in use on the form. You can ask to see all the fields in all your tables by clicking Show all tables. But I just need the ClassTime field, so I'm going to simply drag it out of the dialogue box and drop it onto my form. And that's really all you have to do to add the field. Of course you can resize and reposition things to make it blend in with the rest of the layout. And that's all there is to it.
