[AccessD] Faux console

I normally use a listbox for this. Set the rowsource to Value List and make sure that it is not 
sorted. 

Function AddToLogList(strData)
'Add new item to the end
lstLog.Additem(strData)

'Remove first item if list is now too long
If lstLog.Listcount > 50 then
   lstLog.RemoveItem(0)
end if

'Move to last item in list
lstLog = strData
End Function
