[AccessD] Split database conceptual problems

Hi Doug

We've used the rename trick as well. Rename the frontend to .mdp (for program) and the backend to .mdd (for data). 
This is so simple that it hurts, and it stops any double-clicking leaving your installed short-cut as the only gateway for the average user to your app.
That also solves the naming convention considerations as the filenames can be identical except for their extension.

One further step is to rename GreenWorldNursery_data.mdb to 
GreenWorldNursery_data.dat and then relink.  That way they can't open the data file by 
double clicking on it.

Then explain that the .dat file contains the data and the .mdb/mde file contains the program 
that uses the data.
