I for one have not looked at the demo. But my guess is that the unbound forms have lots of code that in essence in emulating bound forms. Wheels being reinvented?

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. ;-) John W.
