Discussion

When you add a field to a form or report, you add both a bound and an unbound control. The bound control is a text box that displays the data from the table. The unbound control is a label that contains the field name.

When you add a field, the mouse pointer changes to a small box. This box indicates where the top left corner of the bound control appears on the form. The unbound control, by default, is located to the left of the bound control.

Adding a field

NOTE If you move the bound control too close to the left margin, the unbound control may not be totally visible.
