Should Method Belong to the Class?
 

Hello all,

I was wondering if there is a general rule as to when a method should
belong to a class as opposed to a general module (or vise-versa)? In
that we're talking about VBA within Excel everything I would develop
would be "in-process".

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Trip

IMO, it's all about personal preference and ease of development/maintenance.
If you're used to OOP and would rather create classes with
methods/properties, then I'd say go for it. But you're right - everything
is "in-process" anyway, so it won't really matter performance-wise. If you
need to trap Application-level events, you'll have to use class modules.
Other than that, just about everything (besides UserForms) can be done with
standard modules.
