[AccessD] T functions v. D functions

[Rocky Smolin]

I don't have it but have written quite a few.  What I did learn about
Domain function is that they are 'slow' but they're really fast for a
one-off in your code.  Where they really get bogged down is when they're
embedded in a loop, and maybe executed hundreds or thousands of times in
that loop.

DLookup can be replaced by a line of code doing a FindFirst on a DAO
recordset - particularly fast if the field being searched on is indexed.
Opening the recordset with that filter in a where statement might be even
faster.

DCount can be replaced by opening a recordset with that filter, doing a
.MoveLast and then the .RecordCount will give you the count. I never did a
timing test to see if this is significantly faster than the Domain
function, but someone here probably has.

DMin and Dmax the same - open the DAO recordset with a sql statement that
you copy from the QBE grid in the query designer in the View SQL mode.

That's what I know.
