=======
This article contains a list of known corrections and comments for chapter 9 of
the Microsoft Press book titled "Microsoft Visual FoxPro 3 for Windows Step by
Step."
MORE INFORMATION
================
PAGE STEP SEVERITY
----- ---- -------- -----------------------------------------
160 3 Minor Problem: BufferMode property is already
set to pessimistic (though pessimistic is
NOT VFP default).
Fix: None necessary; but step 3 is
redundant. In future releases/patches,
BufferMode should be 0 (None) at the start
of Lesson 9.
162 2 Minor Problem: Putting the Delete & Save buttons
on the screen covers up the "Total Cost"
label.
Fix: All command buttons (including Add,
on page 161) should be placed so that top
of button is one-and-a-half grid boxes
below the grid (or half a grid box below
the bottom of "Total Cost").
163 6 Medium Problem: Step 6 says to close the custordr
form, but next set of steps requires the
form open and does not say to reopen it.
Fix: Step 6 should say, "Close the
custordr form and save changes."
Increase the number of the second set of
steps by 1, then add the following steps:
1 Open the custordr form.
7 Close the custordr form and save
changes.
164 2/Scrn Minor Problem: The word "Sorry" is misspelled
- missing an "r".
This is true in code & in screen shot.
Fix: Change the spelling in code and book.
165 3/Scrn Serious Problem: Misspelled variable: "lgOldTalk"
should be "glOldTalk."
166 Para 2 Minor Missing hyphen at end of first line
between "in" and "definitely".
166 3 Medium Problem: Screen shot is wrong. It shows
only one line of code (which was just
added in step 3), but code already should
be there from earlier steps in this
lesson.
Fix: remove screen shot on page 166.
167 2 Medium Problem: Lines 2, 4, and 25 are
continuations of previous comment lines
but look like new lines. If typed in as
is, the code will cause an error when the
program is run.
Fix: Precede lines with comment character
"*" (as other commented lines).
167 2 Severe Problem: Missing the code line ENDIF. This
will cause runtime errors.
Fix: After the following lines:
STORE .f. TO llAllOk
EXIT
Add line:
ENDIF
168 2 Severe Problem: Missing parentheses.
Fix: Fourth line of code should read:
=MESSAGEBOX("Order Could Not Be
Saved")
168 2 Severe Problem: Extra space.
Fix: Last line of code should read:
THISFORM.Release()
168 6 ? After step 6, add the following step:
7. Set the Data Sessions to Private
This prevents the error "Alias CUSTOMER not
found" from occurring after closing the first
copy of the form in step 6 on page 169.
This error would be caused by the
customer table being closed when the first
form is closed and the open form attempting
to access it.
OTHER: Running form CUSTORDR from CUSTDATA and then clicking the Save button
might produce an error on the "RLOCK(0)" line. This is a legal operation
(attempt to lock a table header) and should not cause an error. There might be
other circumstances causing this, and this error does not occur in the revised
code from patch #1.
NOTE THAT A PATCH HAS BEEN CREATED AND RELEASED FOR LESSON 9. NO CHANGES WERE
MADE TO USER-ENTERED CODE. For more information regarding this patch, including
download instructions, please see the following Knowledge Base article:
