[AccessD] Alt Tabbing between VBA Window and Access Window

You could just click on the form before switching to VBA...alt+tab(once) brings back the last window to have focus.  If the properties window had focus and you switch to VBA...alt+tab will bring the properties window back...

If the form has focus...the form will show.
