maybe thats why they're free ;) On the other point though - not using coding standards because a certain editor offers these features is a pretty weak argument. All of a sudden the code isn't portable to other users (who don't have the editor) and it takes an extra step for users that do have the editor to determine what type it is. Disadvantages outweigh the advantages IMO.

Juli 2003 19:37 An: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Betreff: RE: [AccessD] On Coding Standards 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?

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.
