[AccessD] LatestBrightIdea take 3

I am testing the idea of exporting stuff and later building out a db by
importing it back in.  The first thing I ran into was Access 2019 able to
open an mdb and exporting a form, but importing the form back in caused an
error because I created an accdb to do the import into.  Apparently there
is something in the text file which marks it as an mdb source and refuses
to load it back into an accdb.

I opened the mdb and did a save as acdb, at which point the import worked.

So far only exporting the form object.  However the form object imported
back in (with a 2 at the end of the name) allowed the form to work just
fine.

Some progress.
