YMMV, but IMO the benefit of a consistent--and followed--naming > scheme would be gigantic. I agree with what you said - let me expand on my statement. I said that the daily individual gain will be relatively small - a few minutes here and there. Say that a developer saves 5 minutes per day by not having to look at the manual. Guess that they save another 5 minutes from not having to debug some types of problems. Assume that they only work 250 days per year. 10 minutes * 250 working days = 2500 minutes per year 2500 minutes == 41.6+ hours == 1 standard work week per year. I think that we are discussing the same thing :) zak
