INTRODUCTION

When you create a form with a wizard, you select which fields are included. If needed, however, you can add more fields to the form later. You can even add fields from other tables.

TIP

Resizing Sections

You may need to resize the Detail section of the form to make room for the new field. To do so, place the mouse pointer on the section's border and drag it to resize.

TIP

Using Menu Commands

If you prefer, you can open the View menu and choose the Field List command to display the list of fields in the current table. To close the list, click its Close button.
