    (Un)bounded forms

    Hi, I want myAccess-application in multi-user environment ((maximum 3 users) with a splitted database (Front-end/Back-end). Should I use bounded (quit easy) forms (with action-queries and ADO-Recordsets and VBA) or unbbounded forms (rather more complex).

    personally I'd use bound unless there was a reason not to.

    Most of my applications are multi-user and all are split. Most use bound forms.
