>I just read someone (in a VB forum) saying that a programmer who used a lot of bound controls needed some mentoring/brought up to speed w/what other programmers do. Since I think it's easier to follow a conversation in U-T, I thought I'd ask here instead. What exactly is the problem with bound controls? It seems like they give you the most flexible type of interfacing. If you need to make a change, just change the data. You don't have to mess with hard coded controls.

No problem. Bound control is the flexible way of associating a particular field in the underlying table or query. IMHO, VB have a different way of manipulating data because it is not supporting OOP concept.
