[AccessD] VBA Unbound data entry / update form

Hi William

You are a man of great humour. As a foreigner I had to look this up:

Makes perfectly sense. 

However, have you ever had a gift which you expected to be something quite different? It may cause great disappointment. So let us forgive JC; he was wishing for the superior and sparkling unbound solution - the jacket from the top store in town he could flash on his bike - but was left with a ground level mostly bound modification - a military coloured not very sexy pullover though equipped with a smart zipper.

...hate to say this JC but I think you're looking a gift horse in the mouth 
...this is almost exactly the way I handle customer contact records ...it 
works without any lock conflicts, its much more flexible and user friendly 
than a single huge memo field, and indexed search functions are much faster 
than text searches ...and the user can't tell the difference from the single 
memo field approach except for speed and lack of problems.

...its your problem of course but it looks like you've gotten locked into 
looking at it a certain way and thus dismissing out of hand solutions that 
really do address each of your stated issues.

William
