I spend of lot of may days debugging other people's code in a 520-table database. When I look at a field, I know instantly its VFP datatype. When I look at a local variable, the same. Because we use hungarian notation. It's an incredible aid to software maintenance, which after all is 60% of the development cost, over lifetime.

>Great. I always found Hungarian notation to be an ugly approach, still adopted to it just because I post code in forums and majority use it. Unfortunately too late, those redundant 2 letter prefixes stick to habits.
