Summary
The Toolbox has controls that you can use to modify and enhance the sections in a form. There are three types of controls: bound, unbound, and calculated.
A bound control is connected to a field in a table and is used to display, enter, and update data.
An unbound control is not connected to a field. A calculated control on a form uses an expression to
calculate the data value for a field. Compacting rearranges how the database is stored
and optimizes the performance of the database.
