[AccessD] Table naming conventions

The big advantage to it is that the Access engine knows immediately that
you are referring to something that belongs to the object rather than
having to check to see if it is a variable.  Misspellings bite, and not
using Me doesn't tell the engine that it needs to check the spelling.

On a related note, does everyone use/not use Me. when referring to a 
control in code?  Any advantage other than the auto-fill to using Me.?

TIA
