Public Function CreateValidIdentifier (value As String) As String
The string to generate a valid identifier for.
A valid identifier for the specified value.
CreateValidIdentifier tests whether the identifier conflicts with reserved or language keywords, and returns a valid identifier name that does not conflict. The returned identifier will contain the same value
but, if it conflicts with reserved or language keywords, will have escape code formatting added to differentiate the identifier from the keyword. Typically, if the value needs modification, value is returned preceded by an underscore "_".
