[AccessD] Ribbon context

[Ryan W]

Yes, I could but if the user navigates to another menu via one of the
AutoKeys buttons I have assigned, I need the delete button to contextually
enable/disable itself if they go back to the tab in question, which is why
the OnActivate event seems like a logical choice, because it kicks off
again if you have the form open and go back to the tab.
