[AccessD] Why would one title bar be a different color?

Gah!  I just discovered the reason.  It was being loaded from a menu using
the acDialog argument.  The form's border was already set to dialog, and
the additional instruction caused a peculiar look to be applied.  When I
took out that argument in the code opening the form, I get a normal colored
title bar.  Go figure!
