[AccessD] Using text boxes as fake buttons

Hello All,

I saw a few good examples of this a few years back.

One was from Candace Tripp:  http://home.earthlink.net/~ctripp1

...and the other from Ryan Shaw:  rnshaw at visi.com or rnshaw at integramn.net

I have samples of both if anyone wants...just request offlist.

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte
