The field did not show up in the list of controls. It was this that made me open the query to check if it were there. It wasn't, so I then opened the table, where it was shown as expected, no data, as yet, having been entered in any of the new fields.
Now I have slight doubts, having tried adding a new test field. This field showed up when I opened the query, but was not to be seen in the data control field of the form. In other words, maybe the order 'open query/open form (for edit)' or the other way round, as in the previously reported case, produces different results.
