[AccessD] Bang and Dot operator in Runtimes.

When using me.txtdate your are refering to the control on a form.
When using me!txtdate you are refering to the field from the forms
recordset (rowsource). 

But for what concerns your error.
When using me.txtDate = #1/1/2001# the code can fails depending of whats
in the controlsource. If you replace the . By a ! Than you maybe have no
error but you are refering tho the field instead of the control (in case
a field exists with that name).

I've been able to fix this by making some changes in code but want to
know if anyone has additional info on why this occurs.

Sometimes, referring to a text box with the "." operator sometimes fails
in runtime apps.

me.txtDate = #1/1/2001#  'Causes an error Vs.
Me!txtDate = #1/1/2001#

The error message I get is that the dot operator is invalid.

I simply change it and it's fine. Yet, on other forms, it's working.

I re-import and uncompile/compile many times on these apps and it still
doesn't seem to always catch the potential problem.

Any thoughts?

John
