from table to form

I'm adding rows in my form: just adding up different characteristics for
listing them up in the merge report. But when i rearrange the rows in my
table it's not reflected in the form: it's still the same old table
arrangement. The form doesn't see my new table. What can be done? I'd
appreciate some help.

if you're talking about *sorting* records, don't do it at the table level.
sort the records directly in the form, or sort them in a query and bind the
query to the form.

Thnks, Tina. I can't sort records anywhere except in the table. In the form
window I can highlight rows whatever is appropriate for each client and then
press 'add' button (that's how I'm adding them up for each client). In the
form, under the window, there are names of clients. I press on the client i'm
interested in, then highlight some rows in the window, then on 'add' button,
then i see all highlighted information appear in the field corresponding to
this client under the window. As i said before my new table arrangement is
not seen in the form.

Sorry, but none of that makes any sense to me at all. What is "under the
window"? What do you mean "I press on the client I'm interested it"? What is
this "add button"? What do you mean by "table arrangement"?

If by "table arrangement" you mean that you have altered the design by adding
new fields then those new fields "might" automatically show up in your form's
list of available fields. If the form is bound to a query that explicitly picks
certain fields from the table though (typical if built with the wizard) then you
will need to modify that query to add the new fields to it.
