====== Objects ====== ===== creating an object ===== Dim myObject As SomeClass ' create a reference pointer to an object Set myObject = New SomeClass ' instantiate the object ' or, do it all in one line, but this is frowned upon: Dim myObject As New SomeClass ===== destroying an object ===== * when an object's reference count is at 0, the object is removed from memory; Access will destroy objects if the only variable reference to them goes out of scope * **Set myObject = Nothing** * reduces reference count by 1
