[AccessD] Create a .lib library for use with Access

[Arthur Fuller]

Ok, I'm wrong. But I thought John Colby has created one, consisting of VBA
code. Maybe I misunderstood; it wouldn't be the first time. But I was given
to understand that one could collect a bunch of reusable code and package
it. Maybe John meant that he references it, although if it's not a .Lib
file or a .DLL, then I have no clue as to how one might reference it.
It seems a shame to gather all that reusable code and then have to import
it into the next app one is going to write. But I guess if that's what's
required, ok, I'll do it that way. Creating an Add-In seems totally wrong.
(Actually, I am creating an Add-In, but it has a form as well as some
modules, so that's quite another kettle of fish; easy enough to implement,
though.
