[AccessD] Table naming conventions

Try giving a query and a table the same name and see why prefixes can be
important! LOL

I don't think using prefixes with the actual objects is terribly
important
-- I think a lot of people lend toward natural names for objects and use
the prefixes for variables.

Not read all this, but one point I want to make is "why are people
obsessed with PREFIXES?"

I use the "_tbl" SUFFIX in my table names. Why? So that when I sort the
list of tables I can use the initial letter of the table name to quickly
jump to it using the keyboard. If they all begin with "tbl" you cannot
do that. Simple. :-)
