user-defined fields

Is there a way to allow the user to define her own fields on a form (like you
can do in Outlook or ACT)?

Donna,

This is kind of a funny requirement... no developer would want the users
fiddling with form design. Is there no better way? What are you trying
to achieve?

It's a non-profit organization that has to collect information on its clients
for the government. The info they collect changes from year to year, & they
want to be able to add fields to collect other info based on the government's
whims. I feel the same as you you, but I thought I'd better check just to be
sure.

Donna,

That sounds to me like more than just adding controls to forms, it
involves adding fields to tables to begin with. Actually you are looking
at design changes which should not be left to the users. Either you or
someone with some Access skills needs to revisit the design whenever new
requirements arise.
