[AccessD] Find First in an Array?

In your own defense though William I have to say that it is rarely a valid comparison to look at our 
own work from ten years ago and our own work from today.  There were a ton of things that I have 
learned in the last 10 years that would not have been available to me to use 10 years ago.  Not only 
do I understand Access things that I did not understand then, but I am simply a more accomplished 
programmer, database analyst and system analyst today.
