[AccessD] Switchboard

I've used the built-in switchboard on a couple of applications.  But, 
one quickly runs into its limitations.  So, I am more likely to craft a 
generic form that I will use for making whatever "switchboards" I will 
need in that app.  That generic form gets things like the thematic 
colors of the app and the logo if there is one.  Each "switchboard" is a 
copy of that generic form.  The main switchboard has buttons on it that 
take the user to the general category "switchboards," such as the 
reports switchboard, or the membership information switchboard, or the 
utilities switchboard.  Each switchboard has buttons to do that 
particular category of tasks, plus buttons to return to the parent or 
main switchboard.  It's pretty reminiscent of the old menus I made with 
Basic back in the DOS days.
