using objects to populate controls in detail band of reports

[Kent Eilers]

I've built a class that populates the detail items in several reports. I
use unbound controls in the detail band and populate them during the
detail_format event.

I wonder if there is a direct way to link the detail controls directly to
this object? I still need a recordset to populate the header information
though so I do not want to lose that.

Thanks.

Because user defined classes are outside the name space used
by the expression service when evaluating control source
expressions, you have to use UDF wrappers to get to your
class's properties/methods.
