Well OpenArgs and I had rather a bad first date .... and certainly no good
night kiss, cheek, forehead, or otherwise.

But if I get desperate to use this property again, I will try it the way
you've suggested.

Thanks!

Assign the variable in the OnOpen event if you're going to use it later in
the form.  I've never found any other reliable way to reference the OpenArgs
later on in any version.
