What Is cbo

[Guest]

Hello all,

I've seen this "cbo" used in coding quite frequently. What is it and what
does it do?

I've tried using it to validate data in controls on my form, but it doesn't
work for me. Does it require a module be loaded or need some type of
declaration?

cbo is the prefix commonly used for naming combo boxes.
You will also see txt for text boxes, chk for check boxes, etc.

These names have no meaning of their own, and are only useful in naming the
objects, or in variables in VBA code.

Allen,

Thanks for clearing that up. Now I know why I was getting error messages
while trying to test for NULL values in my controls. I finally got it to work
though from looking at code in other threads in this forum.
