[AccessD] 64-but ONLY front end ?

You can tell what forms are open, there is a built-in collection for 
that.  Thus you can see what is already open and as a form opens have it 
refuse to open and shut back down with a warning (or something like 
that).  You could even do something semi-intelligent like discover how 
much each form uses and place it in a table such that you allow forms to 
open as long as the memory used stays below a threshold.

Ugly but possible.
