Control can't be edited; it's bound to unknown field 'Fieldname'

Hi All,

I have a form that works great by itself, but when used as a child/subform,
I get the message above when I try to click a checkbox. The sfm is, and
should remain, unbound because there is really no fields I could use to link
it to the main form. Is there a way for my subform to be "unbound"?

I know the easy answer is to use this as an independent form, however I am
using a tab structure to unite all the forms in a database, and have not had
this problem before. It would definitely ruin the cohesiveness to extract
this one form. I recently added the checkbox that is causing the issue, and
I now get this error. I did add the field into the source table and linked
the control source for the checkbox to that field.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Anthony
 
Anthony: it is hard to say with the info provided, but there is no problem editing data in an unlinked subform. I would start by opening the subform itself and troubleshoot that: see what happens with the checkbox, make sure the field that is called "Fieldname" displays data correctly, etc. You probably have a typo somewhere
