Or in other words if you don't care that someone can create a record with missing and/or bad data then a bound control is fine.
Do you want portability -- bound controls are not very portable. Do you not want to write the necessary code to handle adding a record. Then use bound controls. >From a purely programmers point of view, I never use bound controls far to limiting and error prone but then I am comfortable with creating all the code that I need to handle data input properly. In short data bound controls add a level of simplicity but at a cost of portability and accuracy. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
