Report Designer Naming Conventions

Elements or objects in a report design have a Name property. While it is permissible to have spaces and special characters in names, it is not recommended, as the names do not adhere to the variable naming standards and cannot be referenced in MaxBasic code.

The Name property is used to:

reference objects within MaxBasic code,
identify components in error messages, making error tracking easier,
provide a meaningful lookup in Property Editor.

Accredo supplied reports and documents adhere to the following Name prefixes:

Component Type	Naming Prefix	Example
Iterator	it	itLines
Band	band	bandHeader
Expression	e	eTotalBalance
Label	lbl	lblOrderDate
Memo	memo	memoInvoiceMessage
Pictures (images)	img	imgLogo
Shapes	sh	shSenderBox
MaxBasic Variables	(none)	Total
