Glitches and Fixes – We Did find a couple of oversights: >:-(

  1. Access WorkPlan had en error in the Forms and Reports that called for Tables and Queries that were changed, so If yours are giving you trouble, then go into Design and change them.
  2. Paradox may have an error for the PRSNOTE.FSL form. It appears that the form is coded for read-only, due to the presence of a redundant reference to PRSNOTE.DB in the Data Model. The error can be corrected by selecting PRSNOTE.FSL for Design, then with the design screen visible, selecting |Form, |DataModel, then in the Data Model Screen, selecting the lower PRSNOTE.DB* and deleting it with arrow left.
