Sorry, Charlotte, 

I misunderstood that you talked about class exposing by editing exported
text files and then importing them back...

I have got this information from a short article, which was published here

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/attac-cg/acgsoft.htm 

Link is broken now but redirect leads to the company, which I think
originally published referred above article....

AFAIS Ken Getz is usually very careful and he doesn't publish the tips &
tricks not recommended by MS...

I remember just one case when he and Michael Kaplan wrote about one
"hacking" solution to simulate AddressOf in Access/Excel 97...

I could have missed some more of course...

Oh, I read, studied and worked through your article, Shamil.  I was
talking about the way to expose a class by editing the header in a text
editor.

Charlotte,

It doesn't matter that much - just to be precise:

That could have been my article published in Smart Access - this one:

http://smsconsulting.spb.ru/shamil_s/articles/deep4sa.htm 

AFAIK Ken Getz didn't publish anything in Smart Access and other public
sources on that subject before referred above article was published...

Deborah Kurata did write on WithEvents related to VB6 before my article
was published but I was unaware of that publication...

The trick with setting [Event Procedure] dynamically was original idea
presented in the referred above article...

Just to be precise the idea of this "trick" was "hinted" to me by Marek
Kepinski in summer 1998 in Access-L - I was aware of WithEvents but I
wasn't aware how to use it and Marek showed me a static sample code,
which I then found how to convert to dynamic setting of [Event
Procedure] property. BTW, that isn't straightforward when you doing such
things first time - quite some time and "dirty" and sometimes heavy work
is needed and then finally you see what you were hunting for...

Everything is easy then...

It doesn't matter that much - just to be precise with facts as they
appeared in chronological order...

Thanks.

You're right, Jim, and I'm sure that's where I got it.

  Ken Getz published an article on this long ago.  Believe it was in
Smart Access.

Andy,

There's nothing illegal about modifying a class that way.  It even lived
in Microsoft's own help files way back when in earlier Access versions.
I think I first used it in 97 after I had found Shamil's DEEP article,
but I don't think I got the technique from him.
