Kerryn asked me to for references to the Hungarian Naming Convention that I so often use in parts. I can see that in a development environment like Access, it is really useful as we often want to explicitly distinguish the underlying source fieldname from the control name. Plus in VBA, casual programmers often invent variable names out of thin air, often casually, meaning on second and subsequent reading, you lose understanding of intent and datatype. I have a page on my preferences for Database Object Naming - based on work by Stan Leszynski and Greg Reddick. Their second paper on VBA (Word document) is a bit hard to find but Accessory has it. Their work appears to be loosely based on the original article by Charles Simonyi who was writing about C programming notation. Greg Legowski wrote his own interpretation and Charles Petzold used it in his seminal work. For VBA, Microsoft wrote their own recommendations for Office XP Developers as well for VB in an MSKB article 110264 Now that VB has gone OOP (VB.NET), some people ask whether it is wise to review our useage of Hungarian Naming. |
