I just thought it would be simpler for users who will use my application to select the values from comboboxes on my form instead of entering the data manually.
There is no obvious reason that I can think of that makes unbound controls useless for me. On the contrary, I think mixing bound and unbound controls on my form would make the database easier to use.
I am trying to update the fields of a table from comboboxes and textboxes on a form. I don't want all the fields to receive data from the objects on my form directly. Some of the bound controls are not visible and data would be entered into them from visible comboboxes instead. I am not sure...
