Re: expose class modules of a referenced mde

Actually, I prefer them a great deal to standard modules because they
serve as wrappers for other objects which basically allows for
multi-tiers of events all responding to the same thing via the
WithEvents keyword or a RaiseEvent statement. Also allows me to build
in design tools for users trying to create their own forms or reports
and have a consistent set of controls on them that do exactly the same
thing my controls do as well as looking and feeling the same.

You can accomplish all that without using classes, sure...but who'd
want to? I would estimate about 15-20% more design time for a new
classs module up-front, but worlds less design time down the road.

As for tying them in with a reference to another mde...well, that's the
part I'm still exploring, and step A is finding a way to do it, which
thus far hasn't worked.

I'll try your suggestions, Terry. Missed the VB_Creatable setting.
Should've seen that myself on closer review.
