Users can mix and use both VBA and "Macros" for ...
Since the Leszynski naming convention is a special form of Hungarian notation the same general advantages also apply to the Leszynski convention..

It may be used to create an identity column which uniquely identifies each record of a table. Only one AutoNumber is allowed in each table. The data type was called Counter in Access 2.0. [1]
