Hi all Gurus

Can anyone give me the difference and benefits between bound and unbound
forms. I also want to know how to use unbound forms in access,If possible
please provide me some sample for it.
 
Bound forms are tied to a recordset. I use these when I want to directly
change the data in a specific table. Typically, these are edit or data entry
forms.

Unbound forms are NOT tied to the recordset. I use these when the form
performs complex functions that interface with many tables and performs
calculations. I use these for some specific data import/transform functions
where the form selects the file and shows progress on the transformation.
The data goes in all sorts of directions. The form has error checking and
error logging that it handles while importing/transforming data.
