// <synopsis>
// This class provides lookup and indexing into an MS FIELD
// subtable. These services include returning rows numbers
// (which for the FIELD subtable are FIELD_ID's) associated 
// with specific data in the subtable.

// <motivation>
// Collect together all subtable indexing and lookup for the
// FIELD subtable, for encapsulation and efficiency.
