Default AutoCorrect

I understand that bloating occurs a lot more when the Name AutoCorrect option
is turned on. How do others systematically track changes to ensure that all
forms/queries/code/etc. is updated when a field name is changed or a table
structure changed? Thanks for your help.

I would suggest that you adopt a policy of picking field names that you are
comfortable with from the start and to stick with them. At the end of the
day, a field name need not reflect the name of the entity it is being used
for, it just helps during development.
