me dot, me exclamation

What is the difference between "me." and "me!" in coding? I've been using them as though there is no difference, but now, looking at code someone else has written with both, I wonder.

Thanks for that. Not sure I follow it all, but probably understood enough to answer my question

Basically, you always want to reference the bang (!). It is okay to use the dot when you are referencing the property of a control. Right Paul?
