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.)

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.
HTH.

Have you considered binding the form to a query that retrieves only one
record at a time, not the entire table?
