[AccessD] VBA Unbound data entry / update form

...lol ...Rocky has posted some points and he should know ...way back I 
reviewed some code he sent me and I was simply dumbfounded by his use of 
unbound code to do even the simplest things ...took me hours to decipher 
code that was a simple update ...one line with bound forms ...reams unbound 
...but he had it down cold and it certainly worked without some of the bugs 
we bounders take for granted ...I'd bet that if you had a look at some of 
his code it would answer most if not all of your questions.
