In this book, most compound object names appear in mixed case: tblBookOrders,
tblBookOrderDetails, and so on. Most people find mixed-case names easier to read and
remember than names that appear in all-uppercase or all-lowercase characters (such as
TBLBOOKORDERS or tblbookorderdetails).
Also, at times, we??™ll use informal references for database objects. For instance, the formal name of
the table containing contact information in the previous examples is tblContacts. An informal
reference to this table might be ???the contacts table.???

Access Building Blocks Part I
In most instances, your users never see the formal names of database objects. One of your challenges
as an application developer is to provide a seamless user interface that hides all datamanagement
and data-storage entities that support the user interface. You can easily control the
text that appears in the title bars and surfaces of the forms, reports, and other user interface components
to hide the actual names of the data structures and interface constituents.
