If your naming screws how intellisense works and I cannot FIND the sucker you just wasted my time. Do it time and again and it is wasteful. cCustName, cCustAddr1 why are you thinking that anyone in their right mind need that "c" when you have the word Name in it? Last point here. If you only have 8 or is it 10 spaces to identify a column why waste a space? Why put in a "_" ? -- Stephen Russell 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CAJidMYL9jzYApHEJ1qD23qkY=zp5y1smxycnhpr_fgvtuhx...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
