[AccessD] Populating a form with attributes of a class

Since forms and controls are classes
(and may be expressed as WithEvents Classes)
there is no reason that you cannot Open a New form class
with a New person, a car, a network, or whatever.

If you get the form's HWnd in Class Init, you can set it's control's
values to whatever you like. No?
