Why not use the control Name as the RegID?

Name is something every control has; it has to be unique among siblings. RegID, OTOH, must be unique among all objects within a form. It is a special 'tag' by which controls that need to reference each other can do so without having to worry about containership paths, name changes, etc. You only need RegIDs when the control needs to be referenced by another control, or when you want to auto-bind events to that control.

    Hope that helps explain the distinction...
