[AccessD] Search with Ctrl+B freeze app

Hi William

Hmm ... I'm listening. Sounds like a very good idea.
I'll pass this to my colleague to test at the client.
Thanks.

...I'm not convinced Gustav ...it sounds to much like a profile problem and 
I've seen them do some pretty unexpected things ...I'd disconnect her from 
the network, install a new copy of the mdb, switch her profile to local, and 
create a local drive with a copy of the be on it that matches the apps 
linking ...then see what happens.

...if the problem goes away as I expect it will, but reappears when she logs 
on to another workstation, your notwork guy has a problem, not you.
