Mell,
Whoever told you that you MUST use those abbreviations to be developing your
databases properly didn't know what they were talking about. Those are
merely conventions that people have come up with and you can use them or
not. Personally, I do not use them. Instead, I have my own method for naming
things that serves to group like objects together. You can use the
conventional stuff or come up with your own.

I have been told that if you don't name your tables, queries, forms &
reports
like below than you did not build the db properly? Do these abbreviations
have to be put in front of the name to be policitally correct as a good
developer?


1. TABLES: tbl
2. QUERIES: qdf
3. FORMS: frm
4. REPORTS: rpt

Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated.
