[AccessD] Form navigation

I still haven't found my rewrite of the switchboard stuff that uses a
treeview. Too many backups to go through. So I'm going to write it again.
As Don Knuth said, any significant program is worth writing twice -- once
to understand the problem and once to solve it. I hold that maxim dear to
my heart; although maybe (at least in the MS world) it's worth changing the
app to write the XML required for the ribbon.

It took me a while to get used to the ribbon, but now I quite like it.
