[AccessD] Current control

In my experience, Susan and Shamil, I have found it useful to identify the
previously active control -- because clicking on a button or other control
repositions the ActiveControl. For example, if I have a button the user can
click, and she does so, then I have lost track of the control she was
previously on. I use a static function for this purpose.

But I wish the syntax for this sort of thing were a little more
"intelligent". If I open the code window on a control (afterUpdate, say), my
natural instincts suggest that "Me" refers to the control, not the form. I
have learned to live with this discrepancy between my idea of how
self-reference ought to work and MS's idea, but it still irks me. Within the
scope of a control, Me ought to refer to the control, not its parent form.
Of course, that's merely the opinion of an old man (river).
