Hello.
I've converted a bound Access 2000 form which displays data retrieved from
an Access 2000 database to an unbound form. Now my hyperlinks don't work.
I'm assuming it's because the form isn't bound anymore. I didn't even have
that field's data type as hpyerlink - just test. I did have the form
control's "hyperlink" property set to true and it worked fine in bound mode.
The fields stores paths to pdf files. How can I make the hyperlink work in
an unboud form? (Going back to bound is NOT an option).
Thank You.

Hi, Matthew. I'm assuming it's because the form isn't bound anymore.
Correct.
How can I make the hyperlink work in
an unboud form?
Instead of an unbound text box, use an unattached label – which _can_ use
the Hyperlink functionality.

Hi, Matthew. Unbound forms are faster in all cases. I have calss modules that handle
all
the data verification and updating.
And do as good a job as the database engine at handling record locks, write
conflicts, and guaranteeing referential integrity? That's a lot of coding
to gain marginally faster speed compared to retrieving a single bound record
from the table. But having a bound form open with only record isn't always
feasible in every application, so an unbound form that handles one record at
a time is a viable alternative. It's just a lot of work to get it right
when the business logic side is doing the work of the database engine.

Not at all. I keep a single ADO connection object open to use through the
entire system. I have scripts that create the class modules and the form
code - all of it including navigation buttons - so the form is ready to use
in two minutes. All I do is give the table name and some other basic info
and 95% of the code is done in 30 seconds. There is always a little
tweaking. The business logic is all handled in one validte function.
That's the only real code I have to write.I have a front end in Miami and a
back end in New Jersey. It was taking 5 minutes to retrieve a record, now
it takes 5 seconds. (Yes I know there's a network problem somewhere, but
this is a Johnson & Johnson comapny so I can't mess with it.)
