ms access 2010 - How is this form bound? -
we working ms access database (2010) front-end sql server database.
one of programmers has created form bound linked table.
my problem this:
all of controls unbound, , yet filled data query. how can be? don't it. wonder if kind of form created query made wizard?
[update]
i discover if remove record source
form of controls dissappear , have table view!
what "thing" called?
this isn't way want work; can convert normal form or have rebuild scratch?
the form's vba possibly calls ado or dao recordset via odbc sql server database , attaches form's recordsource or leaves form unbound , sets values each control corresponding fields in recordset. view code behind form in vba module. alternatively, pass-through query may ran , bound form.
this tougher route in connecting frontend backend systems must bypass of access' default features, commands, , functionality. using unbound forms, developer must create custom update, insert, save, , delete events record management; validation logic data entry; , constant cursor calls depending on form interaction. in sense mirrors how software , web apps built. html/php pages, java or python scripts, r data frames empty designed ("unbound") shells until data retrieved database source called connection.
an easier approach link sql server backend tables , bound them access forms. linked tables available local table , can used in context (forms, queries, reports, macros, modules). no need extensive code call odbc connection every time form opens or events trigger , customized functions thereafter.
