[AccessD] A strange situation

Well...

I like it except for two issues.

1) Users occasionally get confused between what is selected - dark or light.  Or is that just me?  ')
2) If there are a lot of groups it would either require a long list control or a scroll.  There are 
potentially up to 32 groups, though in practice we only have a handful at the moment.

I am going to be setting up "table driven" security where a table has records for each form with the 
visible, allowedits etc properties.  The "security officer" can manipulate these records via the 
form we are discussing.

Additionally The user will be able to manipulate visible and enabled properties for controls on the 
form as they are manipulating the form properties.  A list is MUCH simpler, that is for sure.

The list would contain the names of the security groups.  The "selected" groups would be able to 
manipulate the property.  The programming would be much simpler for sure.

I am going to give this a run and see what it looks like.
