Are you ready to take your Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming skills to a new level? If you've never used class modules to build custom objects before, this chapter covers the concepts that you need to understand to design, build, and use custom objects with their own methods and properties. If you've been building your own objects for some time now, this chapter also covers some exciting new additions to the VBA language in Microsoft Office 2000: the ability to add custom events to your objects, and the ability to extend your objects by implementing interfaces. In addition to describing how to use VBA to build custom objects, this chapter provides an introduction to the basics of using script to create reusable custom objects for Web pages.
