In this episode, we're going to take a look at the difference between bound and unbound forms and controls in Microsoft Access. Binding is one of the things that Access does really well, and generally can help to create real, live database applications much faster than in other technologies. This is because Access can handle most of the database interactions through the use of bound forms. But in many cases, we also need to use Unbound forms and controls for various purposes. Access provides many great ways to do Unbound forms and controls as well for those use cases.
