Updating a Form when Table design is changed
I created a table. Then I created a form for data entry based on that table.
Later I made some changes to fields in the table. These changes were not reflected in the form. For example I changed an input mask, a lookup table value, and a field format. Is there a way to update the form without manually doing it?

No, you have to make the chages to the form in design view.
FYI, you would be advised to avoid using lookup table fields. They are nothing but trouble. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "GMO" wrote: I created a table.

Thank you for your answer. What would the alternative be for a field with a
small defined group of responses that one wants to avoid typing over and over? "Klatuu" wrote: No, you have to make the chages to the form in design view.

Use a combo box control on your form.
