[AccessD] OpenArggggggghhhhhhsssss

Odd to say the least. I've never had any issues addressing OpenArgs anywhere in the form code. In any version up to 2003. ???

Assign the variable in the OnOpen event if you're going to use it later in the form.  I've never found any other reliable way to reference the OpenArgs later on in any version.
