I just got a custom Access application that our product development team contracted out.
Every table in the damn mdf file starts with tbl
Just letting you know that fox doesn't own the <stupid> idea that type has to be baked into everything.

Yeah I always hated that when I saw it in Access crap.
It always seems to me that using a naming convention on a table was redundant at best because every table is a table.
However, if you are doing a large project with a lot of tables, using a prefix can help you group similar tables together. For example, if you are building a complete accounting system it can be helpful to start all Accounts Receivable tables with "AR_" or Accounts Payable tables with "AP_", but it makes no sense whatsoever to prefix each table with "tbl" or worse, start each field with "fld".
