How to bound 2-controls n a Form?

[djclinton15]

Hi. I created a Form with several fields (or controls), which are already pre-Conditional Formatted. My purpose in creating this Form is because I use (copied/paste) these pre-Conditional Formatted controls in other Forms. It saves time & errors from having to repeated pre-Conditional Formatted the same controls in different Forms I'll attempt to give an I.E., I have a control named, 'Mnths' & I have each 'Mnth' having a different background color (using pre-Conditional Formatting). Likewise with 'WkDys' controls & other controls.




Now, here's my question, I find that some of my controls are not connected (or bound might be the correct term) with the adjacent text box related the control. When I want to copy/paste (click on) on some controls the adjacent text box is also connected/bound. While, when I have other controls when the adjacent text box is disconnected/unbound & I need to click on both the field & the adjacent text box. Therefore, is there a way & how can I go about connecting/bound those controls to the
adjacent one/or several fields?


Any advise/suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advanced.

Many controls, like a TextBox Control, have a property called, "Control Source". If you leave this property blank, you will have an unbound control. Alternatively, you can put something in the control source. The easiest way to bind a control is to, first, bind the form to a table or a query via the form's recordsource. Then, select an available option from within the Control Source property of your control.

I would start by double checking the name and control source of any control you paste onto a form while in design view of your form.
