[AccessD] On Coding Standards

Personally I don't subscribe to that theory, though MS is trying to convince
us.  Having the int, str, lng etc in a variable name makes the program
readable without HAVING to hover to see what the heck it is.

I failed to communicate my intended perspective, Charles. What I intended
was, Access doesn't have smart intellisense as has .NET, so that merely
creating a variable won't give me its declaration. That's what .NET does so
well, and that's what I meant by "prefixes may be obsolete". If merely
hovering over a variable declaration will give me "Dim ParentLoop as
Integer", then who needs prefixes?

Arthur,

I have to disagree with you about naming standards not applying to Access.
Check the archives to see how much bandwidth is wasted on this list due to
people having poorly names variables/controls/fields that are either the
cause of their problems or have to be clarified before their problems can be
answered.
