SUMMARY
This article contains comments, corrections, and information about known errors relating to the Microsoft Press book Microsoft Excel 97/Visual Basic Step by Step, ISBN 1-57231-318-8.

The following topics are covered:


 * Page 37: Step 6 Should Refer To Cells D2 and D3
 * Page 108: Error In Step 5
 * Page 160: Error In "Make A Double Decision" Section



Page 37: Step 6 Should Refer To Cells D2 and D3
On page 37, Step 6 should refer to cells D2 and D3 instead of C2 and C3.

Change:

"When you entered the formula, the formula you saw was =C2, not =R[-1]C. The formula =C2 really means "get the value from the cell just above me" - only as long as the active cell happens to be cell C3."

To:

"When you entered the formula, the formula you saw was =D2, not =R[-1]C. The formula =D2 really means "get the value from the cell just above me" - only as long as the active cell happens to be cell D3."

Page 108: Error In Step 5
On page 108, in step 5, the second sentence is in error.

Change:

"The cell A1 changes to 1."

To:

"The cell B1 changes to 1."

Page 160: Error In "Make A Double Decision" Section
The instructions in Step 3 are to "Press F5 repeatedly to execute the macro."

Step 3 should read "Press CTRL+SHIFT+R repeatedly to execute the macro."

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.
