Adding existing fields

I'm creating a multiple-item form to use as a dashboard that is based on
another form. The multiple form is automatically populated with all the
controls from the other form, except an unbound text box I inserted to show
an actual cost. Is there away I can insert this control into my dashboard? I
tried the "add existing fields" option but the text box doesn't show.

Thanks in adv.

Did you try opening form with existing text box in design view, click the
text box, copy, open the new form in design view, paste, and drag the text
box to the position you want?
