Hi Daniel, I was hoping to have a complete draft of Chapter 3 up for you by the time of your Monday morning access; however, it looks like I won't complete until Monday evening (Aug 2) at best, which means you would not have it until Friday. I've done some editing of the Tables example so that the 'generic' instructions that I moved to the front of the chapter are not repeated in the example instructions, and the Forms section is quite long, so I am still working on distilling the 'generic' instructions in that section. I am also, of course, working through the instructions to make the database while writing. I find it hard to proof my own writing with all the edit marks 'on', but I guess that is another step for another go-round.
Thanks for the auto-text instructions for the Tip/Caution/Note section!
