:Description:

   This is the Solutions "About" table for the Request Portal application.
   Solutions will compare version numbers in this table with version numbers in the local tbl1_about_rp_local table in RequestPortalDashboard.accdb
   If version numbers do not match, the program will not be allowed to start up.
   Future Direction: It would be nice to have a single solutions "About" table with a field for the version number of each application, instead of
   all of these separate tables.
