[AccessD] More Class lectures?

I've done that with the NotInList event too. I did it with a function that
accepts the name of a form, but a class is a cleaner way to go.

What I was thinking here is that I could have a customer form open and and
orders+details form open at the same time, and that navigating on the
customer form would automatically refresh the orders form, even though they
are separate forms. The same thing could be done with the order details
subform and the products form.
