[AccessD] On Coding Standards

Also it is rather hard to "hover" over the variable in somebody's e-mail
to find out what they typed it as. <grin>

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.
