I'm still new to Access. I'm running Access 2010 at home and Office 365 at work. When I create a form, I usually use the form wizard. But how can I update my form when there is a new field added to the table without deleting the form and recreating it using the form wizard again with the updated field? I know I can add a new text box to the form but don't I need to link it to the field it corresponds to in the table? If so, how? Thank You.

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Check youtube. I used these keywords ms access add new field to table and update existing bound form

How often does this happen? If it's not real uncommon I'd say there is a problem with the design of your tables.

You can
A. Select Add Existing fields and drag the field to your form. That will by default create a textbox and label.
B. Create the control, then set the Control Source to the relevant field. ?
