    '**** Purpose of code is to display main form records corresponding to
    '**** values searched for on the subform. This overcomes the normal Access
    '**** limitation of the Edit, Find facility.
    '**** To use, change the form name 'Organisations Form', subform name "Contacts" and fields
    '**** OrganisationID, ContactID and table Contacts to suit your application, then call from a menu.
    '**** If you call from a button, use PreviousControl instead of ActiveControl.
    '**** To find the next or previous match enter "/" or "\" as the search value.
    '**** Cursor should be placed in field to be searched.
