[AccessD] Open a form from a different db

Paul,

One way to do this is to reference the database (set a reference to it),
then build a function in the database that opens a form.  Now call that
function, passing the name of the form to open.  Be aware however that if
the form is bound it will try to bind to a table in that database, so if
your intention is to use that form to display data in the current db you
will need to late bind the form.
