Newbie: acForm

[fontana]

what does the "ac" represent in the following examples:
acForm
acNormal

"active"?
i've seen this as a prefix on many form related object
properties (maybe its other things as well).

i'll risk sounding like an idiot. i'm too old to care and
i want to learn to program with VBA. i'm new to databases
and vb.

TIA
tony

ac = Access
Prefixs similar to that are a standard naming convention for preset constant
values. Excel VBA uses an xl prefix frequently and VBA itself has a ton of
constants with a vb prefix, etc., etc. It's often a helpful reminder of
which object libary you are checking books out of.

Tony,

Here an excellent site (on of many) for info/help: http://mvps.org

There is a page about standard naming conventions at:
