I'd actually be surprised if the book actually says "Microsoft's Hungarian notation". But I haven't seen the book in too many years to say for sure.

I know it said we'd adopted Microsoft's reccomendation for control names (txt, chk, etc.), but Codebook and the memory variable conventions in use well-pre-date Microsoft's involvement.

>>>Interesting. In the Visual Foxpro 3 Codebook, it says that the codebook's standards are based on Microsoft's Hungarian Notation. I suppose they were only referring to the concept and not necessarily the character representations themselves.
