[AccessD] Classes not recognized in mda

Hmm... This is the other way of doing it.  What Charlotte is saying is that
INSIDE of the library you can set a function that dims a new instance and
returns a pointer to the class.  The problem with doing this is that you
can't use intellisense to see the properties of the class etc. whereas using
the method I described, your classes become just another object and you can
use it just as you would any other object.

It's a little tricky using classes in a code library because you have to
give them a public interface before they can be used elsewhere.  I don't
have an example on this machine, so I'm working from memory here, but as I
recall, I dimmed a public object variable as a new instance of the class I
wanted to expose.  That allowed the app linked to the library to grab the
public instance of the class and use its methods and
properties.

I have moved some classes and modules out of the front end into a code
library. I set the same references in the code library as in the front end.
In the front end I set a reference to the code library. The FE recognizes
the functions in the library modules fine, no problems but doesn't recognize
the classes (i.e. I get an error in the FE when I try to instantiate the
moved classes). The code ran fine when the classes resided in the front end.
I am obviously doing something simple wrong. Any suggestions? TIA Jim Hale
