Syntax

expression.Name

expression   A variable that represents an Outlook control object.

Remarks

Guidelines for assigning a string to Name, such as the maximum length of the name, vary from one application to another.

For objects, the default value of Name consists of the object's class name followed by an integer. For example, the default name for the first OlkTextBox you place on a form is OlkTextBox1. The default name for the second OlkTextBox is OlkTextBox2.

You can set the Name property for a control from the control's property sheet or, for controls added at run time, by using program statements. If you add a control at design time, you cannot modify its Name property at run time.

Each control added to a form at design time must have a unique name.
