Don't forget that you may not be using Visual Studio for your .NET - some folks may use Notepad or another text editor. No intellisense there. -----Original Message----- From: Jim DeMarco [mailto:Jdemarco at hshhp.org] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 10:05 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] On Coding Standards But on the other hand if you're using .NET and want to see what (or if) you've initialized a variable at declaration time this is a handy thing to have.

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. John W.

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?

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.
