unbound field

[geebee]

hi,

i have an unbound field in a continuous form. users can type whatever
number they want to in it. i noticed that if there are more than 1 record in
the continuous form, when they type the number for one record, it changes in
the field in the other records too. how can i make it to where the number
typed only affects the number in the current record?

thanks in advance,
geebee

Bind it to a field.

If it's unbound, you can't. An unbound control looks like it exists in each
record, but it really doesn't - there is only *one* textbox, displayed
multiple times. If you change any of its properties (e.g. its Text property in
this case) that change is visible on all of the instances.
