Hi --
I am very interested in learning the mechanics behind sub-classing, however, I could use a little advice from the developers on this thread. Everyone I have talked to on UT has said how crucial it is to have sub-classing, and that simply using base classes is not enought to create powerful applications.

I am still not clear on the best way to tackle this project. I have an application that I have created all my table, joins, validations, input masks, data types, indexes, etc. I am at the point where I want to move on, but I seem to be stuck in a ditch, b/c the next step in unclear.

I have been instructed me to make all my classes, OLE Public.

1. Do I make my base classes OLE Public, or my sub-classes?

2. Do I have to know exactly how I want my forms to work before i can create sub-classes? I think the problem I am having, is that I don't know what sub-classes to create, or what to name them for that matter. I haven't done this before, so I don't know what I am trying to accomplish.

I know that my second question is a little vague, but I would appreciate any thoughts or advice you have on how I should go about creating sub-classes, and what I need to do to make that happen.

Thank you for any assistance

Jason
