How to add objects to form
Our next step is to add objects from the Suppliers table to our form.
Since we've already specified our Record Source, Access gives us some nice features to quickly drop objects onto our form. In the toolbar, there is a button called Field List. It looks like a piece of paper with writing on it. Click on this button so that it is selected.
Once you do this, you should have a small window appear on your screen that looks like this.
The Field List window shows all of the fields that are available for your form to use, based on the Record Source property. Since we have selected the Suppliers table in our Record Source property, we can see all of the fields from the Suppliers table in the Field List window.
To add one of these fields to your form, highlight the field in the Field List window, and then drag it to the location in the form where you wish to add this object.
