MORE INFORMATION
Back Cover: Microsoft Exchange Server required
The text and utilities of this book make frequent reference to Public
Folders. Public Folders are a feature of Microsoft Exchange Server. To
follow the instructions correctly, the reader must be using Microsoft
Outlook on a Microsoft Exchange Server system.
Microsoft Press is continuing to investigate this issue and will update
this report when more information is available.
Location of Practice Folders
Pages xi - xiv give a list of the folders included on the companion CD-ROM
to "Building Applications with Microsoft Outlook 97." However, the list of
directories on the companion CD-ROM does not appear to match the list of
folders on pages xi - xiv.
The folders listed on pages xi - xiv are meant to represent the folders
included in the "Building Microsoft Outlook 97 Applications" hierarchy in
your Outlook environment. They are not meant to represent directories on
your CD-ROM.
The following folders mentioned in pages xi - xiv have separate directories
on the CD-ROM:
- Outlook Visual Basic Help
- Switch Forms
- Web Site Shortcuts (referred to in the book as "Web Sites")
The "Outlook Visual Basic Help" directory contains the Outlook Forms Help
file and the Outlook Visual Basic Help file. "Switch Forms" contains the
Switch Forms utility, mentioned as being part of the Miscellaneous folder.
"Web Sites" contains the list of Web sites, mentioned as part of the Help
and References folder.
All of the other information necessary for the book is contained in the
Building Microsoft Outlook 97 Applications .PST file. Once this file is
installed, the folders will appear as listed in the book in your Microsoft
Outlook environment.
"Building Applications with Microsoft Outlook 97" assumes that the reader
is using the Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail system as well as Microsoft
Outlook. However, the requirement for Microsoft Exchange is not made clear
on the back cover of the book.

Pages 310, 327: Miscellaneous Errors
Page 310, code sample 2:
The example code does not use the For Each...Next construct that is
discussed in the paragraph above. Instead, it uses a For...Next loop.
Change the code to read as follows:
Sub CommandButton1_Click
Set Page = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("Test")
Set MyControls = Page.Controls
For Each MyControl in MyControls
MsgBox MyControl.Name
Next
End Sub
Page 327, code samples:
The code in the text is correct, but the code on the CD-ROM is different
and incorrect. Using the application on the CD-ROM, the user can change
the value of the "Book Category" combo box but not the "Book Name" combo
box.
Correction:
In the Library Materials form, change the Item_CustomPropertyChange
subroutine and ChangeBookNameValues subroutine to match page 327.
