[AccessD] Syntax Corrections

Here is some code I got from Trevor Best that gets you around this 
debugging problem
where you could get clobbered p-code

 you have a form that's open for the duration of the application
with a timer event, then put this code into it.
--- begin code ---
    If Application.Modules.Count Then
        Debug.Print ""
        Debug.Print "*******************************"
        Debug.Print "*** Turning off form timers ***"
        Debug.Print "*******************************"
        For Each frm In Application.Forms
            Debug.Print frm.Name
            frm.TimerInterval = 0
        Next
        Debug.Print "*******************************"
        Debug.Print "*** Form Timers turned off  ***"
        Debug.Print "*******************************"
        Set frm = Nothing


    End If
--- end code ---
