[AccessD] Naming Conventions

Hi Brett

OK, it's not Friday yet but I did read what you wrote: especially.

Had you written:

>> Makes a huge difference when dealing with nested loops.

I would have been silent.

So, you would prefer the syntax:

  If I = 2 Then
    ' Do stuff
  End If I

Now, did I qualify for joining Arthur's "Club of Pendants"??
