[AccessD] Converting to 64 Bit

[Arthur Fuller]

Stuart,

How did you get so smart? Is it the air in NPG?

As for the 32->64 bt conversion, I cannot believe how llong this is taking.
I keep thinking that I'm almost done, but then another insect bites me.
Eventually I will bite baack all those insects, and when I'm done I will
post the new files on my web site, so that no one else has to suffer this
crap.
