QueryInterface, AddRef, Release, GetTypeInfoCount, GetTypeInfo, GetIDsOfNames,
Invoke.


Page 152: MkParseDisplayName Should Be MkParseDisplayNameEx
-----------------------------------------------------------

On page 152, in the sidebar,

Change:
"The newer of the two, MkParseDisplayName ..."

To:
"The newer of the two, MkParseDisplayNameEx ..."


Page 290: Code Sample: Quote Marks Outside Parenthesis
------------------------------------------------------

In the code sample on page 290, the quote marks included in the MsgBox statements
are in the wrong place in the SpinButton_Spinup() and SpinButton_SpinDown()
subroutines. Change the routines to read as follows:

     Sub SpinButton_SpinUp()
        MsgBox ("Up arrow clicked")
     End Sub
     Sub Spinbutton_SpinDown()
        MsgBox ("Down arrow clicked")
     End Sub
