As an amateur Access user, I've noticed that sometimes a period "." is used
instead of an exclamation "!" mark or vice-versa. For example as in:

Parent!fieldname or Forms.Formname.Fieldname or Me.Fieldname

I don't know if I used them correctly in my examples, but just curious about
how and when are they used, and if there is any difference.

Thank you.

For a good discussion about the differences between Dot (.) and Bang (!),
see what Andy Baron had to say at http://doc.advisor.com/doc/05352
