How do I link unbound controls to the current row in a subform. I am currently trying to create a subform that allows users to enter values into multiply unbound controls in a row in a subform. To save space, I don't want to create a field for each control. I am using a procedure to place the values entered by the user into a table(the procedure works fine). As I enter a value into a unbound control it populates the entire column with that value(undesired).
 
That is the way subforms and unbounds work. when you set the value for and unbound you are setting it's value on all records. The only way the data is displayed differently is if the data source is different. Setting a value means the datasource is All the same. I don't think the subform is the best option for what your trying. I resolved this issue by using various methods tables, relations, and update querys.
