Unbound Text Boxes

[ncook]

I have inherited a semi completed database, which i have to complete! The designer is unavailable and i have no notes. Everything on the database revolves around a main form, upon which there is a command button labelled @reports'. This command opens a form with three unbound text boxes called category, item and Description. The am of this is to list the reports that i will be creating witht a description so they can be viewed by clicking another command box on the form. However i do not understand how to use them and how to get the list of reports to display in these boxes in order to view them. Please help, i do not understand but i hope i have explained it enough.
Thanx.

an unbound text box is just that.

A box(which contains a line of text) whos contents are not bound by a recordset or query.

An unbound textbox can be set to anything the user/developer wants it to be. this can be done at design time using Controlscorce property or in runtime in VBA using the name of the control.

All i can suggest is start a test project and play around.
