[AccessD] Colors in a combo box

Yeah, like Stuart's link to his GIF?  But I'm not the designer on this 
project.  I can only present the user with alternatives.  And he seems 
to favor the combo box approach.  Might be able to get him to look at a 
list box.  But he's very hard nosed.  Perhaps when he turns ten he'll be 
more pliable. :-P
