[AccessD] IMPORT THE FORM

ROTFL.  And you are sure the error is not drink related?

8~o

"Opened with an error" is kind of nebulous though.  I have intentionally left out the error handling 
so as to not obscure the good stuff and also because without an error handler, the code stops on the 
exact error line.

What is the error line and what is the module?
