[AccessD] Raise Event Across Network

My UDP solution won't use any timers.  VERY easy to code and implement, and
lightning fast.

	Josh,
	 This is a pretty complex app, so I can't run any timers, or else I
have
	problems, big problems .. :-)

	Well, a hack I could think of would be to have a table with
messages,
	and have code running on a timer in the background that polls the
linked
	table. When a record exists, it makes a note of it and does the
	according action based on the data in the table, and makes an
internal
	note that the action has been dealt with, maybe with a local table
(if
	you need a permenant log of communication) or just internally in
memory
	(if the message in the table can be wiped after it expires, for
example,
	a shutdown notice).

	Of course, this isn't real time, and the shorter the delay on
	realizations the more of a performance hit you take from polling the
	table across the network. Not sure if VBA has any socket code
	capabilities.
