Default Adding new field to existing form

I have a working database and now i have been requested to
add a new field to one of my tables.Ok, but how do i add
that new field to an already developed form?Each time in
the existing form in design view, i hit the field list,
the new field that i created in not in that list.Do i have
to create a new form, new query,new report just for this
field.The field is days of the week---Mon thru Sunday
using the look up wizard so it would appear on the form as
a drop down list.Please help....thanks

If your form is bound to a query, then you need to add the new field to the
query.

Thanks Lynn,

I really wanted to add a new field on to my existing form.I think i got it though....i went to design view of the form, went to control source, zoomed into the select statements and just added the field into the sequence of fields already there.....that did the trick....thanks for the support as always.
