Shamil,

That's the one. I'm glad to hear the manual reset and control suffixing work
well in A2007.

My experience in A2K was not positive, but it was with a gigantic form that
has probably been around since Access 95.

The ItemSuffix reset would be a nice addition to EatBloat. But, I would
suggest making it optional. If people have problems with the result, allow
them to run it without.
