[AccessD] Classes and Events - Stay with us

Don't ever think that a lecture on Classes and Events (and Collections)
is 'yea yea JC's goin on about classes again'!!!

There are code samples all over the net.  Even a little bit of
'tutorial' information on how it works.  But there is a pitiful lack of
explaining the actual concepts behind classes.  To C programmers, this
is almost intuitive, because one of the true bonuses of C is that it
allows inheritance.  And VB.Net is class based.  But VBA is still in the
VB 6 subset, which even though it has classes, and can use Implements (a
bastardized version of inheritance), it is far too easy to fall into a
function dependent mode.

So Go JC Go! ;)

Thanks for the encouragement to me and to "the class".  It is very
important to those who haven't 
been exposed to classes and events to hear from those who use them how
useful this stuff is. 
Without that input from other developers it can just be "yea, yea, JC's
goin on about classes again".

I encourage any list members who use Classes and Events in Classes to
speak up and tell your own 
experiences using this stuff.  You might also discuss how it helped when
it came time to learn .Net.

Thanks,
