Sorry, Charlotte, I misunderstood that you talked about class exposing by editing exported text files and then importing them back... I have got this information from a short article, which was published here http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/attac-cg/acgsoft.htm Link is broken now but redirect leads to the company, which I think originally published referred above article.... AFAIS Ken Getz is usually very careful and he doesn't publish the tips & tricks not recommended by MS... I remember just one case when he and Michael Kaplan wrote about one "hacking" solution to simulate AddressOf in Access/Excel 97... I could have missed some more of course... -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2007 7:08 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Classes In Referenced MDE Oh, I read, studied and worked through your article, Shamil. I was talking about the way to expose a class by editing the header in a text editor.

Deborah Kurata did write on WithEvents related to VB6 before my article was published but I was unaware of that publication... The trick with setting [Event Procedure] dynamically was original idea presented in the referred above article... Just to be precise the idea of this "trick" was "hinted" to me by Marek Kepinski in summer 1998 in Access-L - I was aware of WithEvents but I wasn't aware how to use it and Marek showed me a static sample code, which I then found how to convert to dynamic setting of [Event Procedure] property. BTW, that isn't straightforward when you doing such things first time - quite some time and "dirty" and sometimes heavy work is needed and then finally you see what you were hunting for... Everything is easy then... It doesn't matter that much - just to be precise with facts as they appeared in chronological order...

It even lived in Microsoft's own help files way back when in earlier Access versions. I think I first used it in 97 after I had found Shamil's DEEP article, but I don't think I got the technique from him.
