[AccessD] More Class lectures?

...when I first ran across jc many long years ago when he was still playing 
expatriate down in old Mexico, I purchased his first jit sample mdb with 
documentation ...great sample much of which I still use today ...but the 
document was the most obtuse thing I'd tried to read in ages ...and I've 
poked him more than a few times over the years when he starts talking above 
my head again ...but I must admit he's learned a trick or two over that time 
:)

...as for the lessons, I'm barking up his shins and afraid to go any further 
north lest I find something truly hairy ...I've used With Events since 
Shamil first started hawking them on this list but never got into classes 
with Access ...so far today I've managed to get a couple classes working in 
in a major rewrite of a client app I'm doing and quite pleased with the 
results so far.
