Properties problem: .Text and .Value do not capitalize

Using VBA, when assigning values to variables from textboxes or comboboxes.
the property "Text" or "Value" does not capitalize, yet the assignment
works.

In addition, appending "Text" or "Value" to the control name is not even
necessary to make the assignment work.

Examples:
strStringValue1 = Me.cmbCombo1.value

strStringValue2 = me.txtTextBox2.text

Does this indicate a problem with other pieces of code, or settings for the
database in general?

Thanks for any help.

No. Don't worry about it.

It is easier to just deal with .Value rather than .Text. In reality
you do not need to explicitly indicate the .Value since the default
property of the control is the .Value.

strStringValue1 = Me.cmbCombo1

gets the same results as

strStringValue1 = Me.cmbCombo1.value

Larry,

I wouldn't freak about this - this happens on a number of boxes I work
on with the ".Name" property of controls. I've never been able to
figure out why, but it doesn't affect the code as it runs.

MG is right, but IMO I like to declare the actual property, rather
than rely on default settings. Too easy to get burned, and it can be
very difficult to debug when something does go wrong.
