Why it is "pbAdd" instead of "cmdAdd"

Hi,

Clarify the following plz. Why it is "pbAdd" for command buttons name property instead of "cmdAdd".

Private Sub pbAddNew_Click()
adoPublishers.Recordset.AddNew
ChangeStatus NowAdd
txtCompanyID.SetFocus

End Sub

typically cmd is used for command buttons, but it is NOT required.

are you sure its a command button? could be a PictureBox (pb)
there are click events for almost all controls

Maybe named pbAdd for PushButtonAdd

well.. yep, its a Command button.

Not sure. as I said.. the cmd is typacally the way to name a command button but it is not required, you can name it anything you want. Its just a good idea to stick to the standard naming convention so that others can understand what you are doing in your code

It ain't a big deal what so ever - if you don't like the name of any object rename it but then use Find/Replace option in the project so it would compile.

Because someone named it that way.
