Creating a unbound Form
An unbound form can be used as a dashboard to control all
the other forms and other objects
in the database such as reports and queries. In an unbound form the developer is
required to
place all the controls on the form by using the Design ribbon. See steps listed
below.
Click the Create Tab on ribbon
Click Form Design button on the Create ribbon.
The form in design view will be displayed along with the Design ribbon. See the screen-shot listed below.
Note: You can add controls (like, labels, images, and
command buttons) to the form by using Design

button on the Design ribbon when adding
command buttons to the form and use the dialog boxes to let Access

ribbon point to a position on the
form and drag the mouse to size the control.
