Did you take a look at that demo, John.  It's all unbound.

LOL.  It does sound that way doesn't it.

Access' bound forms are magical, and most developers who grew up in
Access use them.  OTOH, old hard core programmers from the bygone era
didn't have magic solutions and grew up hard coding solutions.

Back in the good old days of the great bound / unbound debate, the
secret society of the UHU made all kinds of claims about how unbound was
better because.... So I just assumed that now, when I actually needed to
do it I could call on some of them to show some code...

It is remotely possible that the UHU are all still sleeping off their
memorial day celebrations.  ;-)
