Default Adding a "new" field to a form

I have a form created from two existing tables. I addded
a new field to one of the tables and want to put this on
the form. The problem is that the field list on the form
side does not include the new field. How to I refresh
the field list?

Your Control Source for the form probably only includes the fields already
on the form, and since it includes two tables you will have to modify the
query to add the new field. It will then be available in the field list.

I'm having the same problem of the field list not updating. In my case the
form is only tied to the table, there is no query, it is a form we use to
input data.

If your form's control source is a table, when you add fields to that table,
the form's field list will include them.
