Module Level Variable Prefixes

[Raven65]

All right, well, a year later we are still working on the standards document I mentioned in a previous thread. A current sticking point is around the prefixing of module/class level variables.

I was under the impression that the Microsoft standard @ current was that prefixing these variables (_, or "m") was no longer advised, but when questioned by a fellow developer looked it up again and found the following:

Use "m" as the prefix to indicate that this variable is scoped at the module level.

Have a simply found an older page that hasn't been updated (and can someone link me to a quotable standard if so), or, is the "m" or _ still a daily use standard?
