John, I must say I do not know where the sources are - but AFAIKR there is nothing tricky there: - you have described procedure in your another post in this thread and the ClassExposer add-in just implements this procedure by using: - DoCmd.OpenModule... - getting all the module's text into file; - prefixing this file with requested attributes; - loading fixed file text back into module; - saving module to mdb... That's basically it. What didn't work in your procedure with save? Did you use MS Access 97 or MS Access 2000 and above? For MS Access 2000/XP/... the procedure is different - you have to use Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3 ? Did you use its Object Model? It didn't work? -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jwcolby Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 4:18 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Classes In Referenced MDE Shamil, I was disappointed to find that the cExposer was an MDE. I wanted to learn your secret of saving the class once imported back in to the database. I got as far as that myself but could never get the save to happen. Did you solve that or did you simply have the person save the database and answer Yes to the save prompts? John W.

"not legal" but used by several developers and worked well for them - here it's: http://smsconsulting.spb.ru/shamil_s/articles/cexposer.htm Please take into account that if you use VSS then it will clear the flags which can be set by the referred above add-in....

Sounds like what I need except that I can't see how to set the PublicNotCreatable property. Can you talk me through that? And before we go any further I'd better admit this is A97 in case that blows this. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk --------- Original Message -------- From: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> To: "'Access Developers discussion and problem solving'" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: Re: [AccessD] Classes In Referenced MDE Date: 12/12/07 11:32 Hello Andy, This is a feature by design: you cannot have Creatable custom classes in a library MDB/MDE. Although you can have PublicNotCreatable custom classes (you can set this property via custom class's properties window in VBA IDE, default value is private) in your library MDB/MDE: they will be visible in FE but you can't use New keyword to create their instances in FE - the hint/"trick" is to use helper functions to create instances of these classes in library MDB/MDE.... There are also "dirty" tricks to make custom classes in MDB/MDE creatable using New keyword in FE but I'd not recommend using them and therefore I'd not write more on them here...

Created MDB, imported modules with standard functions, created MDE from that and then referenced that MDE in my FE. All fine and dandy. Then imported into my library a class module. Recreated MDE. This time though my FE fails to compile because it doesn't like my Dim of a new instance of the class - unknown user-defined type. Question is am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation, ie that class modules must reside in the FE from which they're called. One of you class experts is sure to know this one. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk ________________________________________________ Message sent using UebiMiau 2.7.2 -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com ________________________________________________ Message sent using UebiMiau 2.7.2 -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
