How do I refresh the field list for a form created from a table?

I am trying to update the field list for a form I created directly from a
table. I have tried to go into properties to the recordsource option but
cannot find it. Any suggestions?

Make sure you're looking at the properties of the form, not of a control (or
section) on the form. It should be indicated at the top of the Properties
window.

well, i had the same problem. I just typed "Field list" in MS Access help, it gave me the answer.
(Note-i'm using licenced MS office).
Open your form in design view,make sure the rulers are shown(view-->ruler).
you'll see the small square space between Horizontal and Vertical rulers at the left top corner of the form(in design view).
Double click it. u'll ge the datasource on top. u can select the updated table(field) or query for ur form as ur new datasource.

Still u can't get let me know to my email.

Thanx
