Trouble having column in datatable recognize the data source

I recently posted a question, but it has not been answered, possibly because my question was not very clear.

I have a datatable in the designer view of my dataset (I'm using VB Express). I added a new column to the datatable to correspond with a new field that I added to the underlying access database. For some reason, under the properties of the new column for Source, the database field does not show up. So I am unable to bind the new column in the datatable to the field in the database. What do I need to do for the field to show up under the Source property so the new column gets bound?

I hope I did a better job in describing my problem. I'm at a standstill in my development until I get this resolved.

Thanks,

John

You described it fine. When I began playing with databases, I tried the datadesigner. It's pretty inflexible and if there is fluidity in your database format, you'll end up with a trash can full of crumpled up projects. :(

The only way I could ever deal with this since it was at the beginning of a project was to start the project over again. Perhaps you can delete the datasource and redesign it. I've noticed that there is very little flexibility in this dimension.
