OOP in Access Applications

[SparklySpartan]

Access is a RAD tool and if you are going to use Access, you should use its RAD features which help you to avoid code

I think I see what you're saying. You can't exactly compare Access to other general purpose languages and environments. Access is more focused on a certain kind of application and comes with a lot of prebuilt components to help you quickly assemble that kind of application. It would be a shame to lose time making your own code all of the time when you could be taking advantage of these components and methods they already give you, because that's the strength of Access in the first place. Otherwise, you're just trying to use it like you'd use other tools that offer more full flexibility but make you write all those components yourself or grab some libraries from others, and you're bound to keep clashing against what Access is actually trying to be.

It's RAD, which is pretty rad as far as I'm concerned XD

Very true, luckily I did learn those but nothing else. Well, I learned the absolute minimum to get them running VBA so I could ditch whatever other scratch-like language they were using

Macros use XML
