[AccessD] Long vs. Integer WAS: Global Variables

> I ran it in debug in VB
Are you aware that this is an Access list?  ;-)

Looks like the VB compiler has some tricks to optimize 32-bit integers.
What's interesting is that the complete opposite is true when this is
done in Access.

Either way, I don't think it will cause anyone on the list to refactor
their code to squeeze out a few extra ticks of performance.

I ran it in debug in VB, and got only a slight variation....Longs being
slightly faster.  However, your code compiled produced:

3405 ticks (integer)
2193 ticks (Long)

(Repeated runs get close to the same)...
