<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do your forms inherit from some master, or do
you have to implant this logic? I.e. can we create form classes and inherit
from them? And with them, their constituent control
logic/instances?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Obviously I haven't investigated this stuff
much or I would know the answer :-)</FONT></DIV>

size=2>A module is simply a container for code, nothing more. A
module can contain global variables, local variables, functions, subs etc. In the end however, it is just a container full of
code.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=025175323-03022003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>A class module defines a class, and holds code and variables that
implement the methods and properties of that class. A class is a
template for an object and an instance of that object (class) will be loaded when you set a variable = to that class. in other
words.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=025175323-03022003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>In my framework I have classes for each type of control that Access
provides. One of my classes is for text boxes. Whenever a text
box is opened on my forms, I load a class and pass a pointer to the text
box that just opened. The text box class can now implement behaviors
for that specific text box that "belongs to it" (or v.v.). For example whenever the text box gets the focus, I can cause the background
to change colors. Or I could compute a value based on the value it
already contains * the value of some other control.

<DIV><SPAN class=025175323-03022003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>So a class contains the code for an object. When you dimension a variable of type (whatever your class name is) and then set
the variable, you load an instance of the class. You can have just
one, or a hundred instances of your class. When my forms load, I
have an instance of my text box class for every text box on my
forms. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
