[AccessD] Retrieve command line arguments

Hi Rocky

Forget the macro thing.

Use the command line switch /cmd to feed a parameter to the Access app.
Use the function Command() to read the parameter(s), if any, passed at launch.

Use Command Line Parameters under Settings, Advanced to simulate that a command line parameter was given when you open the mdb.
