[AccessD] science on visual controls

Mark

...I think it wasn't Covington's call ...he was reporting to a new group 
head that was responsible for the ribbon in Office 2007 and that guy wanted 
to bring that rogue "Professional" database nightmare in line with the other 
"Standard" Office apps ...internecine bureaucratic bs but here we are ...the 
"Standard" office apps have a VERY narrow vba developer community and the 
focus is on the day to day user, not the developers ...Access had been, for 
better or worse, the step-child of the SQL Server group who do understand 
and focus on the developer/dba community.
