Call statements

Hi,

What is the "danger" in calling command buttons or setting their state =
true in VB6 code?

I have a fair amount of repetitive code, sometimes exactly what a command
button does and so far I've been creating separate subs to hold such code.
e.g. if I have a cmdDoIt_click() I'll create a 'Private Sub DoIt' and dump
the code into that for reuse instead of calling the button.

Instead of duplicating in a few instances, just for grins to see what
happens, I've been Call-ing command buttons or setting them to True. So far
nothing untoward has happened, but, though I do NOT Plan to leave that
there, I did the test because I've received some pretty strong advice to NOT
call buttons or set them to True; instead, create a separate sub for the
code. But there wasn't any reasoning behind the advice, that I can find now,
at least.
Since nothing untoward has happened, then there must be some other,
possibly non-techical reason for not doing that. I'm hoping someone can
give me the reasoning behind it. It's a "head-around" thing<g>.

TIA,

Pop`
