[AccessD] A2000: Move to next record - Not Bound

No, the simplest way (ignoring those useful and clever classes that some
of us adore) is to hold a recordset containing all the records in
memory.  You don't bind the controls at all, you have code to populate
each control when you move forward or back in the recordset.  The
details differ depending on whether you're using DAO or ADO, but that is
the general idea.  I have a NoTables sample database you can download
that uses an unbound form for data entry and edit if you want to take a
look.

Subject: [AccessD] A2000: Move to next record - Not Bound

Hi all
I am going to try an unbound experiment (I know I know) - all the
Unbounders - back in yer seats
 
So...What's the syntax for not binding a form to a table or query
 
I assume you find the first record in the table you want to display and
bind the form to one record at a time?
(So it's not true unbound - I agree but...)
 
How do you move to the next or previous records?
Using something like... 
select * from Accounts where AccountID = me.txtAccountID + 1 won't
successfully navigate me forward or back - I need to 'ignore' deleted
records etc
 
So what's the general consensus for navigating forward and back through
single records at a time?
 
many thanks in advance
 
Darren
