My question is: why not just use:
Is it because Initialize always initialises at the start but he wants to initialise whenever he chooses?
Regardless,
Surely isn't VBA's Sub Class_Initialize() EXACTLY this?

Rich (BB code):
"A method is a procedure that operates on a class, sometimes returning some value. Usually when you create a class you want to populate it with some initial values, and perhaps set up some kind of other structures. I generally create a method called "Init"to do that. Other languages have special methods called constructors that are called on the instantiation of a class. I kind of like the idea of initializing it when I want to. "
