How can I add a field to a linked table?

When i try and add a field i get a message saying i cant make property changes on linked tables, is there a way around this?

The only way to make design changes to linked tables is to open the original database, and make the changes there. If this isn't possible, you might consider making a new table with a foriegn key to store your additional fields.
