[AccessD] Class costs & benefits

I have to respectfully disagree with Jim.  Granted, classes are not as
much the swiss army knife in Access VBA that they are in .Net, but they
are extremely useful for encapsulating objects and extending them.  All
you have to do is use WithEvents a few times to see the usefulness of
classes in Access.

Subject: [AccessD] Class costs & benefits

 From Rocky's email I thought that perhaps a thread on what the costs
and benefits are for classes.

Jim made a statement that he felt that "Access has no implementation
inheritance and since inheritance really is the whole point of using
classes, I think they are more or less a waste in Access".

So what are your feelings and opinions about classes?

I will promise to treat every opinion as valid and not go into rant
mode.  ;)

In fact I will promise to not respond to any message unless the author
specifically asks me to for some reason.
