[AccessD] Just curious

For me, it all clicked when I started to work with ASP.  I used VB to make
ActiveX .dll's to interface with my databases, and the jump in thinking was
changing my development habits from Step by Step to object modeling.

What I mean by that, is before I would program as a 'tree'.  I would start
at point 1, and determine how many branches I would have from that point.
Then I would 'program/develop' for each branch.  As the branches expanded, I
would keep programming out until I hit the end of the limb.  When dealing
with classes, I realized that the class represented a limb.  I then began
writing my classes so they were a complete data object model in their own
right.  Then I created classes that pulled various classes together, more
like a branch, but because the limb classes were their own stand alone
entities, there was a lot less work to put the limbs together.

Does that make sense?

What caused it to click? Just hammering at it time and time again?

I've tried understanding that Russian guy's stuff :-)) and it hurts my 
head. I can use classes. I can use WithEvents. I just can't seem to 
use them together.

Is it just a case of try to understand, then try again and again and 
again until the magic moment happens and it just finally clicks?

Maybe it's just too DEEP for me right now :-))

Never test for a bug you don't know how to fix.
