[AccessD] Missing references

Don't get me started on Microsoft's summer interns "best practices"
examples.  Anyone for the trading database as a way to demonstrate correct
normalization.

It doesn't help their cause that they foist such monstrosities on us.

It used to be.  There seems to be a growing trend towards "decentralisation"
rather than "consolidation" of declarations.

Now we have "Block Scoped variables" in  VB.Net which *have* to be declared
in the middle of code and many MS code examples now declare all variables
immediately before first use. 

Anyone for another round of Bound/Unbound or Surrogate/Natural et al which
we're at it?  :-)
