Lenora,

When you are adding a new record and you see the field with no text boxes,
click on the field name and they appear.  Seems obvious but it fooled me at
first too.  To control that go into the MARC Bibliographic Framework option
from the Administration screen in the staff client.  Click on MARC Structure
for the framework you want to change.  Search for the tag you want to change
(100, 245, etc).  Click on Subfields for that tag, then click the edit
subfields button (you might have to scroll down).  Click on the subfield you
want to show up, the click on the "display more constraints" link. 
Sometimes you need to scroll down to see this, and it opens up more entry
space below so you may need to scroll even further down.  The "hidden" field
is controlling what subfields are viewable on the OPAC, the staff client,
when editing, and whether or not the tag displays with subfields already
open for text entry, or collapsed so you have to click on the name to do the
text entry.  Click on the question mark in the upper right hand corner of
the screen to open the on-line help, and it will tell you what the various
values will do.
