I don't think it makes much difference. I have noticed, however, that not supplying the project name, deactivates the active project. It's difficult to control, especially since the Project Object itself only contains the count as a property. IOW, it isn't a collection.

I'm just about shot for to-day. I may write some when I get home, but anticipate a "Bud Front" moving in, so I might not get too much done.:-)
