I've been programming in access VBA for a couple of years, but haven't
really started using classses yet instead of a group of functions.
I know the need has to be there before classes required but I have several
dbs with some pretty complex logic but they only use functions in modules
however. For example a function A that utilizes other functions B and C
within it.

I can't seem to find any tutorials or hands-on examples of how classes
could/should be used. It's great (and cool) to have your own methods and
properties exposed in the VBE but it seems to me that oftentimes a function
taking a few variables will do the same.
Could anyone point me to a place where I could study an example or comment
as to when to make a class instead of groups of functions in modules. Or
perhaps an example of why you in one case chose the class over the a module.
Thanks for any input.
 
Hi,
i think if you get some book on object oriented programing (OOP) - you will
find lot of samples and best parctices there.
Once you know the idea of OOP - you can easy decide if you need a class here
or not.

Okay thanks - can you recommend one? Should it be specific for Access?
Is there a lot about this in the Developer Handbooks?
