MS Access 2010: Add Objects to Form

This MSAccess tutorial explains how to add objects and controls to the form in Access 2010 (with screenshots and step-by-step instructions).

How to add objects to form

Our next step is to add objects from the Products table to our form in Access 2010.

Since we've already specified our Record Source, Access gives us some nice features to quickly drop objects onto our form.

Select the Design tab in the toolbar at the top of the screen. Then click on the Add Existing Fields button in the Tools group.

A Field List window should appear on your screen as follows:

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 Products table in our Record Source property, we can see all of the fields from the Products 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.
