[AccessD] File list to combo

The Explorer example is quite nice, but you'll need to modify it. The reason
being that the two listboxes use value lists as their rowsource, and it does
not take a great many files to hit the limit. So the code would need to be
changed to store the directory and file names in a temp table and then the
table can be used as the rowsource.
