Just out of curiosity, who prefixes their variables with a data type abbreviation... integer - intVariableName numeric - numVariableName string - strVariableName structure - stcVariableName array - arrVariableName object - objVariableName query - qryVariableName etc... We are ever expanding our best practices and guideline documents and this is an agenda point up for discussion soon... I want to some in with some pros and cons. At first glance, the code becomes more descriptive but I do see and have run into, many problems such as passing around URL params.. do you really want to give anymore information than necessary into the type of data within a variable? What about if you encrypt variables?... The number 1 could be viewed as URL.intSomeId but once encrypted it is no longer an interger it is a string URL.strSomeId, this only touches the tip here. Anyone have anything to offer on this topic? Thanks. Mike
