The BEGINTRANS example on Pages 23-25 of the "Microsoft BASIC 7.0:
Language Reference" manual for versions 7.00 and 7.10 incorrectly uses
"Address" in the Borrower TYPE declaration when trying to OPEN the
BOOKS.MDB sample database. The example should use "Street" instead.
This information applies to Microsoft BASIC Professional Development
System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10.
The BEGINTRANS example gives the error message "Invalid column name"
because it tries to OPEN the BOOKS.MDB database (an ISAM file), which
actually uses "Street" as a column name instead of "Address."
The following lines of the code example should be changed as follows:
Page 23
-------
The following line
Address AS STRING * 50 'Address
should read as follows:
Street AS STRING * 50 'Street address
Page 24
-------
The following line
PRINT LEFT$(People.Address, 25); " ";
should read as follows:
PRINT LEFT$(People.Street, 25); " ";
