You'd put the [shrink] option in for the \frame environment. I'm not sure what a "Tex Field" is.
See the code I posted for you previously, but the relevant snippet of code is:
\begin{frame}[shrink]{Slide Title Goes Here}
for your slides/frame environment (line 23 in my .tex example).
2. James Fiedler made a key point about the text size for the table and how Beamer scales text.
While adding the [shrink] option to the {frame} might be enough, specifying the text size in the table environment can be done in addition to or instead of using [shrink]. In fact, my example used both strategies, since the example -tabout- table (mytabouttable.tex) I gave uses the command " \footnotesize " to shrink the table text. So, you could change your line:
> \begin{table}[htbp]\centering
to be:
> \begin{table}[htbp]\centering \scriptsize
or substitute \small, \footnotesize, etc
3. Finally, your table appears to have a lot of data -- keep Maarten's advice in mind. In your example, you've got at least 9 columns plus you truncate the real number of rows with [...], so it's probably a good idea to break these up across slides or by omitting certain IVs and inserting a note (again, as Maarten describes).
