[AccessD] A couple of syntax questions

[Rocky Smolin]

My reluctance with libraries is that when you send the app to the client
they have to be sure that they have that library.  WHich is why I collect
my public subs in a module called publics.  And when I create a new app, I
import Publics from the most recent app. If the new app only needs 1/2 of
the publics no problem.  Just inconveniences a few electrons.
