Unbound subform "preview"

[Guest]

I'm creating an unbound form where the user can select fom a bunch of
predefined options with listboxes, radio buttons and check boxes. These will
become the field values in a table.

I'd like the user to be able to preview the record that they are creating
before they "post", or add the record to the table. Is there an easy way to
build a subform that shows them the record that they are creating, live, as
they are selecting the options? I'm assuming I have to have some on_click
action on each of the controls to "rewrite" teh subform.

Thanks.

What kind of "preview" do you need/want, more than the displayed information
on the unbound form?

Just as a matter of common practice, most of us find that learning how
Access works with bound forms is much more productive in the long run, than
trying to force it to work some other way by using unbound forms.
