Hi, In the Advanced Features section. In the section about Inheritance, there is the following command: INSERT INTO dist_author(a_id, lastname, email, award) VALUES (110, 'Seuss','[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'National Book Awards); There is a quote (') missing, it should read: INSERT INTO dist_author(a_id, lastname, email, award) VALUES (110, 'Seuss','[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'National Book Awards'); Call me picky, but I always seem to fall for either missing quote, or using double quotes instead of single quotes.
