    Why not Bound Controls?

    I have read that most people do not like bound controls?

    What is the reasoning for this point of view?

    Hi Hal,

    most people dont liek bound controls when it comes to mission critical apps.
    if you make youself a contact management program using an access database,
    on no network, then you can use bound controls.

    If you get to where more than one user might be using the database then
    bound controls quickly become a nightmare as far as who has the record
    available for writing. there's no control over record contents as compared
    to what you are seeing on the screen.

    This is basically why I prefer not to use bound controls. for he sake of
    data integrity.

      I wondered what you meant
      - I thought it was Late versus Early Bound stuff

      - so you actually mean 'Data Bound' Controls

      Those little beasts violate quite a number of the principles of system
      design
      - they muddle up the presentation layer with the storage layer
      - they tend to destroy the 'hour glass' structure of systems
