[AccessD] Create and place buttons with code

[Jim Dettman]

  You can move the buttons around all the time at run-time without issue
(jut change their top and left properties).

  And BTW, if you're creating the form each time from scratch, then you need
not worry about the lifetime control limit.   And it's
Application.CreateControl to add a control to a form.

Jim.

Thanks, Jim. I shall try that approach instead. But your suggestion does
not help me place the buttons. I shall work on that as a sub-project.
