[AccessD] Circle method

I don't think you can do what I want to do -- at least, not without more
pain than it's worth. I was hoping to find some way to pinpoint a field's
position (for each record) and then, based on criteria, either draw a circle
around the value or not... can't figure out a way to pinpoint where the
field begins and ends -- can pinpoint the record and the record's height,
but not the field. Could possibly still glean something off the control's
Border property perhaps, but haven't ventured in yet.
