Adding Objects to a Form

Once the Record Source has been identified, Access provides the ability to easily drop objects onto the form. In the toolbar near the top of the page, click on the button called Field List. (In the example below, it is located directly under Adobe PDF. It looks like a piece of paper with writing on it.)

Access menu bar

A small window will appear on your screen that will list all of the fields that are available for your form to use based on the Record Source you entered.

If you want to add one of these fields to your form, highlight the object in the window, and then drag it to the location in the form where you would like it to appear.
