[AccessD] Am I nuts?

No, I was opening it acDialog and then hiding it after stuff had been done
so that other objects could read values from it.  Instead,  I'm
now  passing a value to a navigation form to handle broadcasting the change
and closing the search form when its job is done.   I finally tracked down
the conflicts between the custom forms class and the forms it mirrors, as
well as remembering that a form with DataEntry - True is never going to
show existing records!  DOH!

It's maddening to try and remember how I did things over 10 years ago in
Access, when I've overlaid the memories with  dot net techniques. <sigh>
