Names Conventions

See Also

Names of relationships and objects must follow the following conventions:

1. Names can be no longer than 249 characters.
   
   
2. Any characters can be used in a name.
   
   
3. The name can contain leading or trailing spaces. It can also be an empty string.
   
   
4. If the name is all spaces, it is treated as an empty string.
   
   
20. This applies to names used inside quotation marks or stored inside variables. For example, the following "IFolder" interface must meet these restrictions:

    oFolder("IFolder").FolderName

-or-

    oFolder(sIFolder).FolderName

where:

    sIFolder = "IFolder"

However, these guidelines are not accurate for names specified outside of quotation marks (such as property names or relationship collection names). For example, the relationship collection "RcFolderContains" below:

    oFolder ("IFolder").RcFolderContains.Count

must adhere to the Microsoft® Visual Basic® naming guidelines, except that the limit is 127 characters instead of the 255 characters limit that Visual Basic allows.
