[AccessD] @#$%^&* bound forms - can' edit field, bound to un kown field

Debbie, Jeffery, and Charles:

Sorry for the post.  There was no earthly reason why this shouldn't work and
in fact, after I restarted the app, it's now working.

Apparently, even though the field 'fldRAHPaymentTermsID' (which I had just
added to the query AND saved it) showed up where it was supposed to,
something hadn't registered.  Restarting the app fixed the 'problem'.

Gotta love Access.

Thanks for you replies.

Best,
