Re: INSERT command doesn't work in Access

The reason I am using this is rather to allow quick assessment of meaning of
fields in complex query at design time not at run time. Why should I not use
it? It is one of best methods IMO to avoid mistakes. Date is rather trivial
but imagine that someone uses date in text format for some reason. If you
call the field 'MyDate' it is meaningless. If you call it strMyDate you know
that this is string - I am not using 'strict' hungarian notation, only some
hints that alleviate coding.

One of reasons Microsoft advices against hungarian notation now (yet 3-5
years ago it was completely different) is that tools can show you the type
of a member variable. Yes they can. But what if you view the code on a web
page, or in notepad? And if you are reading the code you not necessarily
want to mouse over each identifier to see its type. But, once again, it is a
matter of convention.
