Correct.

I view myself as one of the "learned" advisors. And I hold a
contrary opinion to most on this topic. As I do others. So my
attitude varies somewhere between tough and who cares.

So besides wasting a lot of time typing long object names,


Reread a previous posting on this topic. I do *not* type long object
names.

you have to
remember to put square brackets around your query names.


Whenever I use queries embedded in VBA I create the query the first
time using the query builder which takes care of everything anyhow.
So that's a non issue too.

Do you put square
brackets around table names or do you use another set of rules for table
names?


No, no need.
