In the Form Layout Designer, to add a new field to a form layout, you must go to the Field pull-down menu at the top and choose Show Form Fields Selector. This will open the Object Selector window.
At the top of this window there are two options, Text Box and Graphic. You can click the Text Box option there, and drag it wherever onto the form layout page to place a new Text Box at that location. The Text Boxes are for fixed text boxes that you want to put some text into that always appears on the form layout. Refer the the Field Properties for more information on TextValue components.
You can also click the Graphic option there and drag it wherever onto the form layout page to place a graphic or picture object at that location. You would then double-click on the box you've added, and there you can browse to choose the graphic file.
The folders in this window contain the fields from the database which are the controls where you will enter some sort of data onto the form. Most of the fields you will use are in the General folder. You add them to a region on the form by clicking and dragging them from this object selector window to the region on the form. Once you move a field onto a form, you can double-click on it to set its field properties.
You can also add your own custom fields and then put those on form layouts. When you add custom fields to the Orders table, those will be listed in the General folder on the object selector window in the form designer.
