[AccessD] Class costs & benefits

After going through the Class class (c2), I definitely see a need for
them.  I still don't have my head wrapped around all the nuances of
Classes but I understand how they are supposed to work.
The best example, I can think of, for the need of a class is the sample
that was given during the c2: changing the background color of a control
during the OnFocus event.
I spent a lot of time with conditional formatting on one database
changing the color for several forms.
If I had used a class instead, I could have changed the color a lot
easier and saved valuable time.
Thanks,

Jim

 From Rocky's email I thought that perhaps a thread on what the costs
and benefits are for classes.

Jim made a statement that he felt that "Access has no implementation
inheritance and since 
inheritance really is the whole point of using classes, I think they are
more or less a waste in 
Access".

So what are your feelings and opinions about classes?

I will promise to treat every opinion as valid and not go into rant
mode.  ;)

In fact I will promise to not respond to any message unless the author
specifically asks me to for 
some reason.
