[AccessD] Classes and Events Thanks

Bryan,
Must be something in the air this week!

I recompiled a bunch of JC's articles (and some others from the newsletter
and list) and put it in a pdf. Now I carry it around with me on my iPaq and
can review it when I have the time. Best thing I did!
BTW Acrobat Reader for the Pocket PC is really nice for this - Pocket Word
is kind of a cludge to read with.

I have been getting this clicking sound in my head this week too!

Or it could just be that defective metal plate...

I just want to say THANK YOU for the recent discussion on classes and
Events.

I still don't quite have a handle on using events in custom class modules
with form controls yet, but it's slowly starting to sink in. Well, it make
more sense now than it did before.

What I really need to and want to thank you for is opening my mind to custom
classes with custom events. I am currently rewriting a Word export from a VB
App with encapsulated the Word export in a class and I was trying to figure
out how to update a control on the form with status messages. I tried
passing the control to the class, but it didn't like the way I was doing it.
THen all of a sudden I realised that if I rasie an event in the custom
class, and let the form handle the event raised, then I can use ANY control,
and not just a specific type of control to display the status. And what do
you know, I got it working within a couple of minutes.

Raising and handling events is SO powerful.

Really, thanks for opening my eyes to it.
