Page 355: | (Pipe) and ~ (Tilde) Symbols Don't Work

The | and ~ symbols are described on page 355, but they do not work in Works 3.0 for Windows. The pipe symbol is also used on pages 356 and 358.

Correction:

On pages 355 and 356 #OR#should be substituted for the pipe symbol.

On page 355, the third bullet item should be deleted.

On page 358, sentences 2 and 3 should be changed to the following: Comments:

The pipe symbol and the tilde symbol were used in Works 2.0 for Windows. However, their functionality was not carried over into Works 3.0 for Windows; if you use these symbols in a database query, you will receive syntax errors.

Use #OR# instead of the | symbol.

Use <> for NOT EQUAL. There are no other common expressions that require the NOT operator. Microsoft Press is committed to providing informative and accurate books. All comments and corrections listed above are ready for inclusion in future printings of this book. If you have a later printing of this book, it may already contain most or all of the above corrections.
