[AccessD] OpenArgs question

I removed the Chr(34) already. I added them because it wouldn't work and I
thought maybe that was it -- you know how finicky Access can be about its
delimiters. :)

Charlotte, it's working now, but I really have no clue what I did. It wasn't
working, now it is -- it's a mystery.  Thanks anyway. :)
