Object Module

Group: Declaration

Description:
An object module implements an ActiveX Automation object.

• It has a set of Public procedures accessible from other macros and modules.

• These public symbols are accessed via the name of the object module or an object variable.

• Public Consts, Types, arrays, fixed length strings are not allowed.

• An object module is similar to a class module except that one instance is automatically created. That instance has the same name as the object module's name.

• To create additional instances use:

Dim Obj As objectname

Set Obj = New objectname
