John, Magic (unexplained) numbers are always problematic. But if: i = 1 to lngRecordCount... Should we still need to expand on i?

What is it counting? WHY are you bothering to count? It is exactly that thinking that leads to obfuscation.

The names ijk imply throwaway variables not of interest in themselves -- mere counters. So there's nothing wrong IMO with Dim i as Long, j as Long, k as Long For I = 1 to 100 For j = 1 to 10 For k = 1 to 35 DoSomething Next DoSomethingElse Next DoSomethingCompletelyDifferent Next What's the rumpus?

We don't go: LongIntegerSomethingOrOther We go: lngSomethingOrOther or intSomethingOrOther Because lng relates to a long integer....int to integer.... so, i, j, k relate to a counting integer..... What's the fuss? Now, this whole naming convention thing would be a completely different story if the entire world programmed the same way. But they don't. No one can agree on the exact same convention, so all this is, is many many 'camps' saying 'my way is better, I better not ever have to read your code'.....
