' Replacement Functions for DLookup, DCount & DSum , DMax & DMin
'
' Notes:
' Any spaces in field names or table names will probably result in an error
' If this is the case then provide the brackets yourselfs, e.g.
' tLookup("My field","My table name with spaces in") will blow big time
' tLookup("[My field]","[My table name with spaces in]") will be ok
' These functions will not bracket the field/table names for you so as to
' remain as flexible as possible, e.g. you can call tSum() to add or multiply or
' whatever along the way, e.g. tSum("Price * Qty","Table","criteria") or if you're
' feeling adventurous, specify joins and the like in the table name.
