Unbound, Bound, and Calculated Controls
You can place three types of controls on a report: Unbound, Bound, and Calculated. Unbound controls, such as logos placed on reports, aren't tied to data. Bound controls are tied to data within a field of the table or query underlying the report. Calculated controls contain valid expressions; they can hold anything from a page number to a sophisticated financial calculation. Most complex reports have a rich combination of Unbound, Bound, and Calculated controls.
