Duplicate LE names in different forms? (Read 809 times)

	My Workorder form contains a section that makes a "mock" invoice. My Invoice form is very similar and will, depending on conditions, lookup the workorder to obtain its values. I seem to remember reading somewhere that different forms within an application could not have identical names. Is that right, or did I dream it? Or is it bindings that cannot be duplicated? Or am I way off base, and it's totally OK to name and bind LE's the same in different forms?

	There cannot be two Forms named the same thing in a single application. You can, however, have LEs named the same as long as they are on different forms. For example, every Form in your application can have a "DocNumber" LE.

	Thank you. Guide me with this, though...in my main application (which now contains 5 Q&A databases, i.e. forms) I have the form Workorder. One LE on it is named InvTotal and is bound to !InvTotal. Outside of the application, I am working on my Invoice database (with one form, Invoice). Once I'm happy with it I plan to merge it into my main application. It, too, has an LE named InvTotal which is bound to !InvTotal. Am I headed for trouble? Will these two bump heads when I merge?

	As long as they are in separate databases, they should be fine - even if the two databases are placed in the same application.
