Hi Dan, Yes - with two caveats: If the dataform control (definition of the record set behind the form) is _not_ based on a Table object (which is equivalent to a query of SELECT * FROM TABLE) then a field added to the table definition subsequent to creating the form will not appear in the Add Field list. If the dataform control is populated from a QueryDefinition vs a Table of "SELECT * FROM TABLE" and depending on the data engine used then it can require a refresh to the connection before the added field names will display in the Add Field list.
