Independent Text Box on Continuous Form

Hello,

I have a continuous form with six text boxes on a line. The first five text
boxes are bound to the underlying table. The last text box isn't bound to
any table, but the user does need to be able to enter data into it. My
challenge is that I need this last field to be independent of the other
records. That is, the user needs to be able to enter different data in that
last field for each record.

I can't use just a normal text box, because then whatever the user enters in
one record will show up on all records.

I could just add another field to the underlying table and bind the last
field to it, but I'm hoping there's a way to do it without changes to my
table structure. The data in that last field only needs to persist until the
form is closed. After that we will never need it again.

Is there any way to do what I'm hoping, or will I have to add the extra
field to the table?

Thanks in advance.

James
 
No, there's no way of doing what you want with a continuous form other than
having a bound field.
