[AccessD] A2K - Preventing the tab getting the focus

You'd think you could just set the tab control's Tab Stop property to "No",
but when you do so you also disable cyclic tabbing all together. The
workaround...

In the last control's LostFocus event...

	FirstControl.SetFocus

No dummy control needed, not quite so kludgy.
