Binding is the way an object in Access relates to underlying data. A bound
form or a bound control (textbox, combobox, etc.) is tied to a specific table
or query in the database. If a control is bound, it automatically reflects
the values in a specific field of a specific record in a table. Also, changes
to the data in the control will automatically update the value in the table.
Unbound controls have no such connection. In unbound controls, displaying
data or updating datas must be done through some sort of macro or code.
Focus simply refers to which form or control has the cursor. When you click
in a textbox, it has the focus. When you ckick another textbox, the first one
loses focus and the new one gets focus.
