[AccessD] VBA Unbound data entry / update form

Ugh, I explained exactly what you need to do to do it unbound.  It would
run circles around what you currently have in place.

You went...whaaa whaa whaa, my customer doesn't want it done right, I am
a slave to my customers unreasonable demands.

And instead of listening, and realizing that you could do what you
customer really wanted (and far more), you had this stupid idea stuck in
your head that an unbound form was just a form, and not a complete
structure instead.  If you want to build an interface over a crappy
table structure, bound is certainly the way to go.  Good luck with
that....

Gustav,

Maybe... all the UHU members, being coders at heart, have 
left us for other platforms, leaving only bounders in our midst?

;-)

And yes, I am attempting to be charitable here.

 > I have in a few cases used unbound forms (small and no 
subforms) and was surprised to find out how many tasks you 
needed to take of - your initially simple code quickly 
bloats to a mess.

I would think so.  What I want to know more than anything 
else is how does Access discover the lock on a record in 
order to display the lock symbol in the selector bar on the 
left.  And why did they not expose that to us?
