Forms: Updating the Field List

I built several tables that I have combined into one form. When I add a
field to a table, the field list in the form does not update (keeping me from
being able to add it to the form without starting from scratch on the form).
Any suggestions?

Open the form in design view, open its property sheet, go to the Data
tab of the property sheet, click on the Record Source line, then click
on the "build" button (captioned "...") that will appear at the end of
the line. That will open the form's RecordSource query for editing, and
you can modify it to include the new fields.
