Hi Shamil

Nice work indeed!

I would be happy to contribute with some testing but I'm running the
same Win/Access combinations as yourself, so - except for the odd
chance that you would include testing on Access 95 (!) - I can't.

> - MS WinXP
> - MS Windows .NET Server and
> - all the versions of MS Access starting MS Access 97.
