[AccessD] A2003: Masked bitmaps as button images?

Why would you add a gliding subform or animated image to a database
app?  Graphic elements are supposed to enhance the usability of an
application, not distract from it.  This is not ot say that UIs
should be battleship gray and plain; from from it.  But be careful
how much glitz you put into things.
