Topic outline:

This session is based on a presentation given by Anders Ebro (aka The Smiley Coder) to the UK Access User Group conference in Oxford in Nov 2024.
The session was so well received that I asked him to do an updated version for Access Europe.

Anders will provide an introductory session on class modules – and then explain how to use them in real world scenarios.

The session will include:
•   How do you decide whether to put your code in a bunch of procedures in a standard module, or to create a class module?
•   What factors should guide that decision?
•   Class modules can raise events, but beyond that, what are the benefits?
•   Why use properties, rather than public variables in a standard module?

Anders will give real life examples of when class modules have been used and why he did it that way.
