[AccessD] New thrd: dates

There are at least two external uses for the SQL Server TIMESTAMP/ROWVERSION.that I 
can think of:

1. Requery it before saving updates to see whether the record has been changed by another 
user.

2.  Since it is a sequential value, you can query how many/what other records have been 
updated since any specific record was last updated.
