Combo Box - Search

M

marf

The book I am using has an example of using a unbound combo box to do a quick
search o a table and to populate a form. In another example they use a bound
form to do the same thing (I think). I am not sure what the difference is,
can someone please briefly explain why I would want to use one vs. the other??

marf,
Using a bound form with an unbound combo is used to search for a record and
then display that record in the same form.
Selecting a record in the combo makes the form show that record.

A search form can also be built using an unbound form.
In this case selecting a record in the combo opens another form to the
matching record selected in the combo.
This type is usually a more complicated search form with many options to
choose from.
