Look for the downloads:

Peter De Baets has a product called KeyedAccess that will do this I believe:

LOL!!
Oh thanks, I'm glad I could help.
I *collect* things, yeah....that's it.
You should see my Access MVP bobble-head collection. Pretty cool.
I cannot, however, seem to get the John Vinson head to stay on though.
The head is packed so full of information it just falls over all the time.
