Data Source Task Pane
The Data Source task pane is a fast, easy way to manage record sources. It's better than the field list because the task pane shows all of the source fields, and you have the option of viewing source, related, and other tables. That means the pane displays the tables and queries so that you can easily select a field.
If you have a form and you want a combo box for a look-up field, for example, use the source, related, and other tables to select a field and drag it onto the form. Voilà, a combo box is created. Similarly, you can drag a field from one table onto another table to instantly create a look-up field, and the appropriate joins are automatically created.
