title: What are the use of of square brackets in vba (access)
body: <p>I'm looking through an access database for work currently and came across some confusing code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Private Sub Form_Current()
    Me.Parent!PF = Me.[Compound Number]
    Me.Parent.start = Me.[Study Start]
      'over and over for different variables
  end sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm wondering what the brackets are for in vba (outside of arrays)and why someone would need this code. Thanks</p>
