interesting option, I'm not always on line, though, but thanks for the tip!
plus getting my little backup routine is also good for my learning
process...

I will try that. so I just copy the Public def from the bas into the cls?
Then i wonder if i have to copy it into the form as well, in order to
receive it in the event?
I'll play around with that...
I was thinking that one only wants a definition in one place, and since the
CFileSearch Class needs it in mFileSearch.Bas, that making copies was not a
good idea....but if it works what the heck.

what about the idea of a separate class to hold the values i want and just
pass that?
pros and cons anyone?

thanks
mark

I agree. Either pass multiple args, or a class that exposes them as
properties. Types really have no place in the COM world.

So any 'best practice' principles to decide between the two?
multiple args/ vs class ?

Many thanks for your input!
