Using tbl, qry, frm, rpt really, really slows me down when working in a database.

...and I often name things that logically read backwards just so they line
up neatly into groups when alphabetised, im not sure if thats hard for
others to read, but I find it easier like that...

In larger systems I will use PO for purchasing, Inv for inventory, QC for Quality
Control and such.

Thats all a whole new thread for that discussion im sure :)
