[AccessD] ...building, managing, and using a page favorites list

Drew

...that's closer to what I'm looking for ...not an MRU per se but TopX 
unioned w/a favorites table possibly ...however I'd also want to age the 
TopX to ensure the user wasn't seeing year old data.

...I do use a highly modified switchboard table to drive a treeview menu 
that is always visible ...I was thinking of adding an outlook type accordion 
below the treeview for personalized favorites ...was hoping someone had 
already done something similar ...looks like I'm going to have to build this 
from scratch.
