LOL, hey now, don't put words in my mouth JC. What I said is that when I need a SIMPLE property, ie, a property that is going to be a value, and require no processing whatsoever, then I simply declare them as Public variables (ie, a simple property). I use Get and Let statements all the time. And I know many people use them even for simple properties. There's nothing wrong with using Get/Let statements, and I don't think there is anything wrong with my method either. Is my method lazier...probably... I can't deny that! ;) Drew -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jwcolby Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 8:21 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] A2003:Replacing 'tokens' in a string > still obfuscation however. A quick Google provides: Obfuscation is the concealment of intended meaning in communication, making communication confusing, intentionally ambiguous, and more difficult to interpret. Obfuscation requires intent. I have to assume that your intended meaning was Abstruse. Abstruse: difficult to penetrate; incomprehensible to one of ordinary understanding or knowledge. The problem with defining Classes as Abstruse is that term "one of ordinary understanding or knowledge". If you are going to use that term about classes, then it implies knowing classes is not ordinary. I make the assumption that no one on this list is ordinary. That only leaves their understanding. Classes are quite ordinary to me, and are quite ordinary to many others on this list. I have long maintained that they SHOULD BE ordinary to almost everyone on this list, and if not you should work on that to make them ordinary. Most of us are professionals Max. Having one of the most powerful tools in the toolbox be Abstruse is not a good place to be. > All those LETS and GETS just to parse a string. Lets and gets are optional. In fact (IIRC) Drew insists that he NEVER uses them. John W.
