The way I understand it, it is more like lnLoopCnt, tnPara, laDropList, etc.
At least that's what I've been trying to be disciplined to do because it helps ME maintain and support my own code. It's often a case of helping me remember what I was trying to do years down the road. I'm a firm believer in finding a style that works for you and then sticking to it in everything you write. Maybe that is outdated, but that's just me. I also try not to duplicate like "ldDueDate", or "lnInvNum". Paul H. Tarver Tarver Program Consultants, Inc.

What is the YAG naming convention? lcName, ldDue, or is it more CamelCase like DateDue?
