[AccessD] treeview control

Hi A.D.
I've looked over your sample treeview app and it's definitely nicer than my
own. I'm wondering how one might handle a slightly different requirement.
Grandparent, parent and child are straightforward, but what if the
Grandparent has more than one child? For example, suppose that the
Grandparent is called Customers, and has two children, called Orders and
Payments. Perhaps not the greatest example, but with luck you will get the
general idea...

GP:
   P1
   P2
   Pn

Perhaps a better example would be a Customer who has several types of
purchases, including Flight, EventTicket and HotelRoom. I would want each of
these to be displayed in a separate node within the treeview. In all cases,
there might be multiple entries.

TIA,
Arthur
