Objects

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

• 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
