That is why I questioned it. If I elect to use Hungarian (which I have) then naming a field dduedate seems redundant. It's saying dduedate=dateduedate whereas my example ddue=duedate. It seems pointless to include the word "date" at the end of something that the notation says is a date.

BTW - I don't think my example suggested that dDueDate could be DDate.
