[AccessD] Subjects in Newsletters

...AccessD rite of passage ...until you've been on the wrong end of of a JC
rant, you can't really belong :)

...years back, a raw newbie to AccessD, I dared to mention that I did my
j-i-t subforms just a bit differently ...two weeks later and a masters
degree in Access intricacies later, we called a truce out of sheer
exhaustion ...not ours of course but everyone else on the list ...but I did
buy his JIT sample and used it from then on :)))
