Are there any controls out there that can be bound directly to a data
table? So that when I update the data on the form, it autmatically
updates the table. I realise you can achieve this using one of
Access's wizards but I need something a bit more complicated.

TIA

Thanks for the suggestion Duane - it may work but I am a bit new to
all this and afraid I don't know what you mean.

Could you ellaborate a little bit please?

Take a look at my other post....

Basically, the suggestion is to consider using a listbox (which is
multi-column), or what we call a continues form....

There is screen shots of this idea in my other post......

The idea here is to build a form with one "row" of fields...if you put the
form in continues view...it becomes a grid.....
 
Further to what the others have said:

It sounds as if you might not realize, that *all* of the standard
Access data controls, can be bound directly to a table or query field.
You just set the RecordSource property of the form or report, to the
name of the relevant table or query; then set the ControlSource
property of the control, to the name of the relevant field in that
table or query.

Voila: a fully functional, bound control!
