[AccessD] Building a control class

Hi A.D.

You have a point. However, I really think the =MyFunction() construction is a left-over from Access 1.x which didn't feature code behind forms.
Two reasons for this: 

1. It is nearly impossible to locate the controls where MyFunction is used without extensive manual search or using a third-party search utility.
2. Errors in MyFunction cannot be caught.

John,

    If a single class covering all controls (complete with events) were to be devised, could there be any reason not to prefer it over a host of classes control-wise ?

    While assigning "[Event Procedure]" to various events, it seems desirable to make it conditional to the event not already having been assigned some function (e.g. =MyFunction()) as otherwise the latter stands suppressed.

Best wishes,
A.D. Tejpal
