[AccessD] Importing data using a Class..Who can help/review?

OK, I wanted to add a minidb but a message has a max size of 30KB...
 
I've added the code I use in the following order:
Form
Module
Class
 
I've got the following questions:
Q1: I'm calling the method SaveLine via a function ImportInterface. I don't think that this is very good programming. 
How can I improve this?
Q2: I'm not using properties. Do I need them? For what and why? 
 
Q3: If anyone has more tips...
 
Form Code
Private Sub cmdReadFile_Click()
   Dim intInterfaceID As Integer
   
   intInterfaceID = cboImport
   
   Call ImportInterface(cboImport, "D:\Temp Projecten\Access\Interface.dat")
End Sub

Module

Subject: [AccessD] Importing data using a Class..Who can help/review?


Hi group,

I'm building a little app that is able to import textfiles. I want to do
this using a class. I've made a start and it works! Does anybody have the
time/interest to shoot at it?

It's very basic.
I've got:
a class called: cInterface
a method called: SaveLine

TIA

Sander
