[AccessD] subform close

...the basic scary scenario I'm trying to work out ...I'm using a treeview 
switchboard hosting the application's forms in a subform ...resizing 
everything to full screen (try that with a subform!) ...and thus there is no 
master child link between the host and the sub ...its a very appealing gui 
...I can pass arguments from the node when opening the subform ...but I 
don't want the user to be able to switch subforms while there is still 
something going on  ...thus the need to control the subform close from the 
subform itself.
