MORE INFORMATION
================
Page 14: Reference To Incorrect Filling Type
--------------------------------------------
On page 14, in the second paragraph, change the reference so that it corresponds
with the last paragraph on the page.
Change:
"...Sweet Lil's has altered that recipe, changing the Candlelight Ecstasy filling
from raspberry to marzipan."
To:
"...Sweet Lil's has altered that recipe, changing the Candlelight Ecstasy filling
from mocha cream to marzipan."
Page 82: Steps Are Incorrect
----------------------------
On page 82 the steps in the "Set field properties" exercise are incorrect. The
steps should be as follows:
Change:
"Verify that the Carriers table is displayed in Datasheet view."
To:
"Verify that the Carriers table is displayed in Design view."
Step 2 should be removed, and the remaining steps should remain unchanged.
Page 124: Procedure Is Incorrect
--------------------------------
Please make the following changes to this procedure:
Delete all of step 5.
Renumber step 6 to step 5, and delete the result text:
"The Link dialog box replaces the Select Index Files dialog box."
Renumber step 7 to step 6.
Page 225: Callout Line Points To Wrong Part Of Graphic
------------------------------------------------------
The Detail section top callout line should stop right above the name "Alpine
Collection."
Page 234: Confusing Typo in Step 3
----------------------------------
The first step 3 at the top of the page has a confusing error. It should say:
"...click the New Object: AutoForm drop-down arrow..."
Page 236: Wrong Button Pictured in Quick Reference
--------------------------------------------------
The wrong button is pictured with the "Create an "instant" AutoReport using the
Standard format" how to. Use the New Object: AutoReport button instead.
Page 275: "Boxes" Should Be "Bonbons"
-------------------------------------
There are multiple errors in the steps on page 275.
In step3, change:
"select Table: Boxes."
To:
"select Table: Bonbons."
In step 3, change:
"list except BoxesID"
To:
"list except BonbonsID"
In step 5, change:
"with Boxes already"
To:
"with Bonbons already"
