    Re: What is Bound and unbound control?

    A bound control is control that is permanently bound (or connected) to a data source (data control).
    To accomplish that you'd drop a data control control (note: there 2 types - dao and ado) on the form, configure its database connection, assign source (table, query, view...) and finally assign data control as a source for your control.
    Otherwise everything needs to be done manually - a lot more coding but you gain a lot more flexibility.
