[AccessD] Where does WithEvents go?

Shamil,

None of the properties that are exposed when the class is exported to a text
file is visible from within Access.  What I don't quite understand is why
you wouldn't simply set both of the properties I discussed to true and
directly see the classes from any database referencing the library.  Doing
this allows seeing all of the class properties, functions etc, as well as
directly dimensioning a class variable.

What does the wrapper buy you?  It seems like extra work, an extra layer
that things have to go through, as well as an extra layer that I have to
write (the helper function).  We don't do that with the libs that MS
publishes do we?

And yes, the ClassExposer add-in would be nice.  It appears that the object
on your site is compiled - I can't open or convert it in A2K.  I could
certainly write my own if I need to.

John,

But you can dimension the class specifically as that class type if this
custom class's Instancing property is set to PublicNotCreatable. Then you
create instance of this class using wrapper/helper function. And you can
sink an event of this class declared as public.

Instancng is a standard property for custom class modules in MS Access 2000
and XP.

Are we talking about different things?

Shamil

P.S. Unfortunately I don't see Instancing property for Forms' and Reports'
modules (am I missing it?) - so maybe ClassExposer Add-In for MS
Access2000/XP to expose forms' and reports' modules isn't a totally crazy
idea....
