It is only wrong if you have in the middle of the for loop something like: if I = 12 and J = 32 then goto faraway :-) Jim -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of DWUTKA at marlow.com Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2004 2:15 PM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [AccessD] Naming Conventions What's wrong with: For I=1 to 50 Next I ?

I had to when I was learning to use a naming convention. It's a rite of passage for developers. One of the things a new developer needs to learn is how to write standardized code that someone else can decipher. Unless they're experienced, their code is going to need a lot of revision over time, and they'll save plenty of time for themselves and others down the road if no one has to struggle to figure out what those objects and variables are. When I have to deal with code that uses variables like i, j, k, l m or objects like ThisOne, ThatOne, TheOther, I want to beat someone to a bloody pulp for winging it. On the other hand, if someone uses prefixes, I may be baffled by a few of them the first time I see them, but it won't take long to learn to translate.

In my case, of course, the answer is ME. ===========I can see a new developer spending more time checking the list of abbreviations than coding. ;) Susan H. -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
