ROTFL
I like the vbYesNo = vbTrue part, especially!

If DA.Expert1.Opinion(varOpinion) = DA.Expert2.Opinion(varOpinion) Then
If MsgBox ("Does Everyone Agree?",vbQuestion+vbYesNo) = vbTrue
then
Call AskQuestionAgain(varOpinion)
Else
DA.AllExperts(varOpinion).Agreement = False

I agree, John. Unfortunately, I lost that battle with respect to
objects in our VB.Net environment. Several "experts" wrote books and
articles insisting that hungarian was dead, so the experts that insisted
it wasn't got ignored. I HATE having to read the entire name of
something to discover at the end that it's a form, subform, report, etc.

Arthur,
That of course is a simple matter of preference, not a matter of one is
inherently better than the other. In fact I don't much care which is
used as long as something is used. I do prefer prefixes because the eye
is much faster at finding the beginning of a name than the end of a
name. Thus if I have a SQL statement with 5000 characters, I can scan
(read) the statement and the objects pop out of every object name.
tblPeople is much easier to determine that it is a table than PeopleTbl,
and even more so when there are 3 or 4 words. If you are scanning
something looking for a reference to a form or a control, it is just
plain easier to find those objects when the "xxx" is a prefix.
In the end though, for purposes of doing a search using a search tool,
it really truly DOESN'T matter. tblPeople or PeopleTbl are equally
distinguishable and easily found. If anything can be named People
(forms, reports, queries, combos, text boxes etc. then we are talking
chaos and an automated search (without an eyeball guiding it) becomes
literally impossible.
Again, it is a matter of opinion whether to use prefixes or suffixes. I
use prefixes, I have tried suffixes and always went back to prefixes,
but in the end either distinguish the object by type and that is the
most important thing.
