Class modules are used for Object-Oriented (OO) programming. There is tons of information about OO programming out there. Class modules are the main way to implement OO programming in VB.

A thorough discussion of OO programming is beyond my scope, but the short explanation is that OO is a programming paradigm in which problems are broken down into "objects" and coded in that manner. For example, a database application may have a Customer object, that contains data on a customer, as well as actions you can take with the customer, such as "deleting" a customer. That way, you can worry less about the implementation and just focus on making the objects do what you want.
