I've inherited a database and while trying to familiarize myself with how it
was constructed I came across queries that have an "filz" prefix. I see that
the "fil" part is for a file list box but what is the "z" part? Also, these
are queries that pull items from a help table (tblHelp) and the icon is
dimmed as if it were a hidden file. What's that all about? Thanks for any
light you can shed on the subject.

I'm not familiar with that particular naming convention. Have you tried
contacting the db's developer to find out what s/he intended?

Well if you pronounce "filz" it would sound like fills. So I'm guessing that
the query fills a listbox or combobox - that is it is used the row source for
listboxes and comboboxes.

As far as the dimmed icon goes, I have no idea unless you are correct and it
is hidden and you have Show hidden checked.
