[AccessD] Conversion

No performance hit because it's all front end stuff.  I open the 
translate tables (using DAO) when the app opens and keep them open.  The 
translate routines use .FindFirst.  The Controls table has 2261 records 
and the messages table has 384, so it goes real fast.  There is a small 
but perceptible delay translating a form with a lot of controls but its 
very acceptable - way under a second.  OF course I'm using a fast pretty 
machine - 2GHz but that's not unusual these days.  It seems to go just 
as fast on my P3 machine which, I think, is 800MHz, but can't remember.
