How bind a field from a table to a unbound control in form?

[longmatch]

Dear Friends:

I just want to design a form from scratch. I dragged one textbox to a blank form. How can I bind this unbound control to a field in a table in this database? I tried to use use Control source, it did not work.

Thank you

It sounds like you're going about this the hard way. Here's how I would do it. First, set the form recordsource to the table you want the fields from. Then open the field list by clicking the icon at the top middle of the page. Just drag the fields from the list to the form.

To change it the way you tried by using the control source, you would still have to first change the form's record source. Then changing the control source would work fine.

I got your idea. Thanks
