Stephen,

Head over to www.fox.wikis.com

Lotsa "standards" docs over there, including the best naming conventions document I have ever seen.


>>>
>>>I agree that keys need to be uniquely named. It's a shame that the M$ white paper didn't bridge conventions to keys primary and secondary.
>>>
>>>Do developers still make a combined primary key these days? {outside of SBT that is}
>>>

>>Yes, some do...but they shouldn't. The PK should be totally meaningless to the data. It should not be something the user has to enter, nor should it be madeup of a combination of fields. I have a KB artilce on my website that discusses this.
>>
>>While we're discussing standards, I have a standards document that I've been using for sometime. I'll try to post it on my web site in the next few days.
>
>Well I just got into the driver seat on another project and wanted to print a set of standards. I looked to your site but didn'tr find anything on standards. Did it get posted yet?
>
>If not could you email me a copy please?

>Thanks.

>When I get done with our document I will publish it in the Doc's area for others.
