We too are in the process of setting up standards. We were going to use P_ and c_ as table name prefixes so that we would know how they were related. Then we realized that this meant that the parents and children were separated when listed alphabetically!! So now we are calling them things like transmit_P and transmit_c1, transmit_c2 etc.

I hereby declare a *new* VFP notation -- Reverse Hungarian. (Well if you can have Reverse Polish logic, why not Reverse Hungarian Notation?)

Remember -- it was officially named first on UT_gc
