All,

Thanks for sharing your ideas and insights into this issue.

I now have a much better understanding of the Bound/Unbound options.

It was not my intent to "stir the pot", but it was pretty interesting to read the posts.

Thanks again to everyone who chipped in.

Brad

According to you I was.   Your description of the second method  was
ONLY about the table 
structure, not the way the user interface was implemented :-)
