[AccessD] Using Global Connctions

Globals are just the broadest scope that you can have on a variable.  You
have procedural, modular, and global variables.  Global variables should be
used where they need to be used, no more, no less.

The 'debate' on 'sloppy code' is really a moot point on this List.  The
chances of having to recode a project from another list member is pretty
slim.  Not too mention that I would rather deal with someone's sloppy code,
then deal with a sloppy data structure.

Marcus,

Precisely.  Sloppy programming habits.  Globals serve a purpose, but
they should be few and far between.
