[AccessD] Classes not recognized in mda

Can forms be placed in libraries? If so how are they referenced?

Hmm... This is the other way of doing it.  What Charlotte is saying is that
INSIDE of the library you can set a function that dims a new instance and
returns a pointer to the class.  The problem with doing this is that you
can't use intellisense to see the properties of the class etc. whereas using
the method I described, your classes become just another object and you can
use it just as you would any other object.

It's a little tricky using classes in a code library because you have to
give them a public interface before they can be used elsewhere.  I don't
have an example on this machine, so I'm working from memory here, but as I
recall, I dimmed a public object variable as a new instance of the class I
wanted to expose.  That allowed the app linked to the library to grab the
public instance of the class and use its methods and
properties.

I have moved some classes and modules out of the front end into a code
library. I set the same references in the code library as in the front end.
In the front end I set a reference to the code library. The FE recognizes
the functions in the library modules fine, no problems but doesn't recognize
the classes (i.e. I get an error in the FE when I try to instantiate the
moved classes). The code ran fine when the classes resided in the front end.
I am obviously doing something simple wrong. Any suggestions? TIA Jim Hale
