I have come across a boat load of posts in different forums where people tout the advantages of using unbound forms for data entry. There seem to be a lot of advantages to using unbound data entry form, particulary for multi-user systems. Among the advantages is having complete control over the data being added to the database. The major drawback to using unbound forms is, of course, the development time in coding all of the things to fully mimick a bound form. I understand that some people utilize append queries to add records (usually done explicitly with a cmd button).
I have several bound data entry forms in my database that I would like convert to unbound forms to have more control over the data. While I have heard a load of people praise their advantages, I have not seen anyone post an example of how they accomplish this themselves. Searching this and other forums, I have found only vague hints about how to go about it. If anyone has had success with using unbound forms as data entry forms, I would greatly appreciate some tips or an example of how to go about it.
Thanks in advance.
