[AccessD] Stopping import of tables and queries from mde

What if you just ROT-13 encode all the text. To the casual eye it will look
like garbage.

Boy, I'd like to avoid Access security if possible.  This is The Sleep 
Advisor and it's going out on a self installing CD to consumers.

99 and 44/100ths of them won't have Access or any idea (or desire) to look 
at the tables.  But all of our output text is in the tables.  And if someone

wanted to try a knockoff they could see some of the approach I used to do 
the analysis and reporting.  They could also get to all the text.  It would 
be copyright infringement but we'd have to take action to enforce it which 
is a losing proposition.

So I'm just trying to add that extra layer of protection.
