    Thumbs up

    A classmodule is a module that act's as an object that can be used in instances. Classmodules may let you use separate variables for each instance so you will have something like an UDT with code. A regularmodule is like a single instance of a classmodule. All public methods and variables can be used from the classmodule by using the syntax
    classinstance.methodname
    or
    classinstance.variable
    Just like you use:
    form.print "Hello world"
    or
    Msgbox form.caption

    The big advantage with classmodules are that they keep your data and code at the same place and give you an object oriented interface, that is easy to work with.
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
