>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.

Jess and Jim gave you right answers, though I want to say that unbound technique, while not improving speed (this is not a problem anyway), will provide greater programming flexibility and elastic interface approach.
