[AccessD] Leave a bound form in a library.

John:

I have not been following this thread carefully but does not a form and/or
module loaded/called from either the local MDB or a remote one, reside in
memory until a unhandled error occurs or the FE MDB is exited?

Shamil,

that workaround only has to be applied to the forms stored in my library.
Obviously there is a 
development cost but after that it works fine.  I don't have to do that for
the forms in the 
application that I am applying security to.
