[AccessD] Weekend fun: Primes

...and...I found this in the help...not that it matters...just kinda 
weird...the PRIME number I maxed out on...is also the number used to set an 
access window to the color of your desktop:

In the property box, type one of the numbers listed in the following table. 
For example, if you want the background of your form to display the same 
color that you or another user uses for the Windows background color, set 
the BackColor property to -2147483643, the value for Window.

Screen element
Scroll bar	-2147483648
*Desktop	-2147483647*****My Max Number
Active window title bar	-2147483646
Inactive window title bar	-2147483645
Menu bar	-2147483644
Window	-2147483643
