WOW! Someone else that does this. I always use the a two letter abbreviation of the table name for the beginning of every field in said table. This is SO helpful when doing complex joins. My typical convention is: (For example only) GUESTBOOK GB_ID GBFIRSTNAME GBLASTNAME GBEMAIL GBCOMMENTS GBDATEADDED I use all caps because I camelback or lowercase all other variables, and when I run across DB variables in forms and other bits of code, I'll know immediately those vars are coming from the database, and not something local, though most everything is scoped.
