I've been using a prefix on all my columns, such as CUS_ in the Customers table and BKG_ in the Bookings table.
I did it so I'd know where the data is coming from in a datasheet or a form. I could have 'City', 'State' or 'Zip' etc, in more than one table, but is it really necessary to use a prefix?
What's the down side of taking them out and making the whole thing friendlier?
Thanks - rev
