Oh Please, please take the time to explain why things DON'T work in the samples of this book.
Even if intentional, a brief description of why databases wont update with your code, why there are concurrency issues, methods are "one-time executed", so on, so on.
Even Cut and pasteing code results in interesting "gotcha's" not described in the text as the book progresses!!
Generaly, I consider these things typical; and usually programmer error rather than bad code, but the code in this book just falls flat on it's own!
Dang! Good info to a certain degree -- but all ends there.

I have sent a lengthy personal reply, but let me note here that I provide a discussion forum and errata on my site, and that with the exception of one bug in the code found due to your note, I simply don't experience the kinds of problems you are seeing. My hope is that you'll go to my forum and post specific questions and issues; I'm very eager to help you get all of the code working. Thanks.

Gary, I'll be responding to both of your messages in a detailed email. Let me say here that (a) I provide extensive support in my discussion forum (forums.delphi.com/LibertyBooks).
All of the examples in the book have been checked multiple times, but if i can trouble you to either send me email (jliberty@libertyassociates.com) or to post to the forum, the specific problems you are having, I'll be happy to double check the code, and if needed post corrections to the errata sheet.
Please do download the source code from my web site, http://www.LibertyAssociates.com, however, to make sure that it is not just a typo that is causing the confusion.
Thanks again.
