However, it is extremely frustrating that the practice files are not presented in the order in which they are "apparently" referenced. Indeed some of the practice files are not even directly referenced in the text, leaving it to the reader to guess which one, if any is being used. (For example, the Anchor practice file is listed as the first file in Chapter 4. However it is not used until the section "Autoresize", nearly three-quarters of the way through Chapter 4. When it is used, frames from the file are shown in Figures 4-38 and 4-39, but there is no reference to the file in the title to these figures or in the text.) For other practice files, the reader is left to wonder which one is being used. (For example, in Chapter 4, the Section "Making a New Layout" refers to the "People" database. However, there are eight (8) databases listed as practiced files for Chapter 4 with "People" in the title. It is left to the reader to guess which is to be used. In searching each one of the eight, none corresponds exactly to the information presented in Figure 4-2. In addition, in Chapter 4's section "Found Sets and Layouts", the reader is instructed to "Switch to the People List layout". None of the "People" practice files listed for Chapter 4 has a layout named "People List".

I presume the remainder of the practice files for the book are as poorly arranged and correlated with the text. This greatly diminishes the usefulness of this source of information in learning about Filemaker Pro 10.
