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

Page 254: Code Sample Is Missing Include Statement
--------------------------------------------------

On page 254, in Listing 5-3, the code for DirList1.cpp will not compile, as it is
missing an Include statement. Note that this omission was made in the
DirList1.cpp file on the companion CD-ROM as well. If you try to build this
program, you may receive the following error:

irlist1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __stdcall 
DDX_DateTimeCtrl(class CDataExchange *,int,class CTime &)" 
(?DDX_DateTimeCtrl@@YGXPAVCDataExchange@@HAAVCTime@@@Z)
.\Debug/Dirlist1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe

To correct the problem, the following statement should be added to the
DirList1.cpp code.

  #include "afxdtctl.h"


Page 335: MSChart.ocx Is Not A License-Free ActiveX Object
----------------------------------------------------------

On page 335, MSChart.ocx is described as a license-free ActiveX object. This is
not true. When trying to use this object, users will get a "design-time license"
error. Users must have a valid Visual Basic license in order to use
MSChart.ocx.


Microsoft Press is committed to providing informative and accurate books. All
comments and corrections listed above are ready for inclusion in future
printings of this book. If you have a later printing of this book, it may
already contain most or all of the above corrections.
