L.7. Standards
Throughout the book, we've pulled together reference material, sharing our expertise and experiences, and encouraging you to take the try-it, like-it, modify-as-appropriate approach.

There's an overwhelming supply of reference material with varying degrees of quality and applicability.
Some of the more reliable sources for additional or updated information on naming conventions, reserved words and special characters will likely be found by searching Microsoft and www.mvps.org. Although it might seem that the preponderance of Microsoft's articles is related to .NET, there are several that are relevant to Access development.
The most critical factor is that you consistently implement and follow some standard.
