[AccessD] 'Find' popup location

Thanks, Drew.  That's an interesting program.  It does work, but after I
move the Find window, close Access and come back in, the Find window still
jumps to the same place, almost out of sight at the top of the monitor.

I've been experimenting, and I think I found out the cause of this
behaviour.  I'm working with dual monitors and the vertical resolution of
the two monitors is different.  I suspect that Access can't handle this, and
is trying to put the Find window in what would be the clear space at the top
of the vertically shorter monitor.  If I change the alignment of the
monitors in Display Properties/Settings so that the tops of the displays are
aligned instead of the bottoms, the Find window then disappears at the
bottom of the shorter monitor. The Find window works OK if I use the larger
monitor for my code window.

Guess I'm just going to have to treat myself to a second big monitor!
