bound and unbound controls in ms access

Question

What is the difference between bound and unbound controls in MS Access? How do they differ? And when on an MS Access Form in design view, how can we tell if a form is bound

Answer 1

A bound control is one that is bound to a field in a table or to a function. An unbound control has no Control Source property, similarly, a bound form has no Record Source. You can check the property sheet.
