Naming Procedures

When naming your procedures, you must follow certain guidelines. A procedure name:

• Must begin with a letter.
• Cannot contain embedded periods, mathematical or comparison operators, or type-declaration characters.
• Must not exceed 255 characters.
• Must be unique within its scope.
• Cannot be the name of a Visual Basic method, property, function, argument name, or other restricted keyword. For a list of restricted keywords, see "restricted keywords" in Help.

Tip

To avoid having to use module qualifiers when calling procedures, use each procedure name only once.
