[AccessD] version control

I have sent a sample mdb OFFLINE to those that requested.  It is NOT mine...but a sample I downloaded years ago...and still use the concept today.  

In 'poking' around in it...I did find the original Credits...and thought I would share...because some of us will recognize the names.

Anyway...just thought I would share---

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte

'   Carl Tribble (who produced a great relinker and stirred me to make my FE updater generic)
'   Steven Robinette   - whose Database Navigator also stirred my thinking
