[AccessD] Naming Convention (was Days Past Due - Grace Period )

Do you write ASP pages?  If so, do you prefix all of your variables with
var?

I don't get it...how do you ever know what the datatype is?? How do you know

when an 'str' is really a string and when it will accept a form reference. 
How about overflows? If you follow that logic, what looks like a long, may 
be an integer.
I suppose you can do whatever you want, but if the logic is "I may need to 
have something else here but I want a string"...then why not (as I believe 
William suggested) make them all variant and leave off the datatype 
'convention' (not).
