Name property

As used for forms

The Name property is the internal name of a form used by the system throughout an application. The name is distinct from a form's caption and it may be different from a form's title shown in the Explorer.

A form name must be unique. The name should conform to naming requirements for Windows client objects.

Note: Use the collection name associated with the form. If the collection name is already in use as a form name, append a term to the collection name to make a unique name. For query forms, append "Query" to the collection name (for example, AccountTypesQuery). By using the collection name, the process of specifying drill-down relationships and linked forms is simplified.

As used for form components

Use the Name property to specify the internal name of a component. The name must be unique on the form.

As used for global objects

Use the Name property to specify the internal name of a global object. This name must be unique in the forms database.
