[AccessD] VBA Field Names - Curiosity Question

Sorry Brad, but adherence to disciplined naming conventions make a HUGE

Especially critical : Use of Globals !!
And don't get me started on the danger of globals.

> Examples -
> 01 Part-Number   PICTURE X(30).
> 01 Part-Cost    Comp-3    PICTURE 9(05).

> In VBA examples, I see most people using prefixes such as Str, Lng,
> Dat,
> Etc.

> I have never quite understood why people do this when working with VBA

> In COBOL we would simply look at the Picture clause in the field name
