To create a new form that accesses table NEW, open your old form, and change the "Base Table" property in the block that is used to access the table to NEW. Then save the form under a new name with the File --> Save As pull-down option. You might also want to change the form name in the form-level property sheet.
To add new column AAA, copy one of your table's existing items in the Navigator, and then change its name to AAA. Be sure to set its location and datatype attributes so it appears correctly on the new form.
