Shamil, Could you kindly send me a copy of the version suitable for Access 2002 (as & when ready).

John, Do you do that manually of you've an add-in? I've a ClassExposer Add-In for MS Access 97: http://smsconsulting.spb.ru/shamil_s/articles/cexposer.htm If you and/or other developers from this group need something like that for MS Access 2000/XP I think I can make a conversion. On the other hand I'd strictly recommend TO NOT use exposed CREATABLE classes/forms/reports - and use wrapper/helper/class factory code to create custom classes' instances - IMO using class factories makes your coding more organized and easier to debug...
