[AccessD] form doesn't save

I haven't worked with a value list in so long, I've forgotten how they
behave, but there is an AllowDesignChanges property of forms that
specifies the view that allows changes, All Views or Design View Only.
YOu might be able to switch that in code to save changes to a value
list.  I've never tried it, and I've always allowed Design View Only
changes, but it might be worth a try.

=======It's just an example of "how-to" Charlotte, not something I have
to actually make work, but I didn't know the bit about being in Design
view to permanently change the value list -- that would make perfect
sense. I hadn't thought to check that, just figured it was the Save
method -- something I was doing wrong.
