MORE INFORMATION
================

CD-ROM: Error With SmallMailingLabels Report
--------------------------------------------

When you run the SmallMailingLabels report from the "Ch 08 Subscriptions.mdb"
file on the CD-ROM, you will receive a dialog box asking you to "Enter Parameter
Value." This is due to the ActiveX Data Objects library not being correctly
referenced. To work around the issue,

1. Choose References, deselect the "MISSING: Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1
  Library" reference, and click OK.

2. Choose References again, select Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library,
  and click OK.


Page 173: Error In Sample Code
------------------------------

The code on page 173 and the sample mdb on the CD are incorrect. The Show Record
button does not function without the Subscribers form loaded.

Change:

  Private Sub ShowRecord_Click()
  ' Find the selected record, then close the dialog box.

      Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
      
      ' Store the recordset for the Subscribers form.
      Set rst = Forms!Subscribers.RecordsetClone

      ' Locate the record for the selected subscriber.
      rst.FindFirst "SubscriberID = " & List0

      ' Set the form's Bookmark property to move to the record.
      Forms!Subscribers.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark

      ' Close the dialog box.
      DoCmd.Close acForm, "GoToRecordDialog"
  End Sub

To:

  Private Sub ShowRecord_Click()
  ' Find the selected record, then close the dialog box.

      Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
      
      DoCmd.OpenForm "Subscribers"

      ' Store the recordset for the Subscribers form.
      Set rst = Forms!Subscribers.RecordsetClone

      ' Locate the record for the selected subscriber.
      rst.FindFirst "SubscriberID = " & List0

      ' Set the form's Bookmark property to move to the record.
      Forms!Subscribers.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark

      ' Close the dialog box.
      DoCmd.Close acForm, "GoToRecordDialog"
  End Sub


Page 338: Incorrect Reference To OnClick Event
----------------------------------------------

Step 2 at the bottom of page 338 incorrectly refers to an OnClick event.

Change:
"... attaching it to the onclick event ..."

To:
"... attaching it to the onchange event ..."
