How do I stop field content repeating on every form?

[Guest]

I have about 8000 forms - database entries. I have one or two fields I don't
use. I noticed today that if I put information in one of these fields it
repeats in every form. I noticed in the properties that the field is labelled
UNBOUND but I don't know what that means or if it has anything to do with the
problem.
Thanks

An unbound text box is not feeding information to or from any field in your
table thus if you type something in it is will be treated a bit like a label.
However it will not be stored anywhere in your table when you close the form
unlike a Bound textbox which is linked to a particular field in your table.
Hope this helps

You could blank out that unbound control between records depending on
exactly what you are doing.
