If a form or report is based on a table or query, you can display the field list. This option allows you to easily add fields to the view.

The field list appears as a box that floats above Design view. Floating means that you can drag the field list by its title bar to reposition it anywhere on the screen. This option allows you to move the field list to a more convenient location while you work.

NOTE The Add Existing Fields button acts as a toggle. Click it to display the field list and click it again to close the field list. Close the field list by clicking the Close button on the title bar.
