Clara

When i opened the form in design view and attempt to click on the field list
icon it's greyed out. I can't click it and i don't understand why

For the field list to work, you must have the form attached to a table, or a
query. Perhaps the table was deleted, re-named. Or, perhaps the form was
based on a query, and you renamed, or deleted that query.

Check the forms property setting for the table it is attached to.

It is an unbound form, meaning you do not have a record source set

On the form properties, select data tab and check that you have a record
source e.g.. a table or query that will be used to display your data.
