[AccessD] Save dll to folder

William,

The calling application folder isn't good either since the app is Access
(office).  That can also change depending\ on office version and manual
installs etc.

..afaik if the dll is not required by other applications then just 
installing it in the same folder as the calling application should work fine

and make version changes much easier ...Windows looks in the calling 
application folder first ...if it is required by other apps then you need to

check the registry for the system folder location.
