Solved: Tags or Names

[dumbpuppy]

I have read some discussion threads advocating “Names” and other threads advocating “Tags”.

Does anyone have an opinion whether one approach has any significant advantage(s) over the other?

Are there specific scenarios which would tend to dictate the use of one approach over the other?


Name Examples:
-----------------------

ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Name = "CBRSlide1"
For i = 1 To 9
    tickName = "tickline" & I
    ActivePresentation.Slides(x).Shapes(tickName).Delete
        Next i

Tag Name Examples:
--------------------

Sub AssignTagValue()
 Dim strTagValue As String
 Dim strTagExists As String
 strTagValue = frmCBR.txtTag.Text
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Tags.Add "CustomerName", strTagValue
strTabExists = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Tags("CustomerName")
End Sub

ActivePresentation.Slides(4).Tags.Add Name:="IncludeIn", Value:= "ABD" 

strTabExists = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Tags("CustomerName")

Thanks for any pearls of wisdom ...
