But why would you change your coding style in a scripted language? In ASP, I still use int and str as prefixes, even though everything is a variant. Along those lines, I use int for ALL integers, mainly because I only use an Integer type when absolutely necessary (if an API requires it...etc. Drew -----Original Message----- From: Jim DeMarco [mailto:Jdemarco at hshhp.org] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 1:28 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] Naming Convention (was Days Past Due - Grace Period) ASP is a different animal though isn't it? Scripted code versus compiled and all that. Reddick naming conventions specify using "var" prefix for variants although we use "v" here (or "var"). Seems dangerous not specifying the actual data type in your VB/VBA code.

If so, do you prefix all of your variables with var?

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). _d "Things are only free to the extent that you don't pay for them".-Don Elliker >From: Drew Wutka <DWUTKA at marlow.com> >Reply-To: Access Developers discussion and problem >solving<accessd at databaseadvisors.com> >To: "'Access Developers discussion and problem solving'" ><accessd at databaseadvisors.com> >Subject: RE: [AccessD] Days Past Due - Grace Period >Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2003 16:33:06 -0500 > >I don't think I have every prefixed a Variant as var, yet.
