Access Europe – Anders Ebro (Class Modules: How, Why and When To Use Them in the Real World)

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.
