Description

An object module implements an ActiveX Automation object.

• It has a set of Public procedures accessible from other macros and modules.
• These public symbols are accessed via the name of the object module or an object variable.
• Public Consts, Types, arrays, fixed length strings are not allowed.
• An object module is similar to a class module except that one instance is automatically created. That instance has the same name as the object module's name.
• To create additional instances use:
  
  Dim Obj As objectname
  Set Obj = New objectname
• It can optionally contain Attributes one of which must be VB_Name.
