Unbound field control Problem

[justphilip2003]

I have a standalone Form application that has an unbounded text field used to enter input, where should the event control source be placed in order to access this entry; in the Form Detail properties, in the field property sheet 'OnClick', or etc. I am very rusty and my past experiences always had bound fields with a 1 to 1 relationship with tables. The text input will be manipulated to build a file name for a JPEG picture to be displayed. TIA Phil

I'm not clear on the question. As long as the form is open, the textbox contents can be accessed from anywhere with:

Forms!FormName.TextboxName

Presumably from your manipulation code.
