I've found those cross references to be quite fragile (e.g., easily broken when material is reorganized) and have removed tons of them, over time, from the Developers Guide.&nbsp; Looks like I have 20 more to replace.<br><br><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">Thepage <a href="../learningmaterials.html" target="_blank"><u><font size="3" color="#810081" face="Calibri">http://www.ideablade.com/learningmaterials.html</font></u></a> is no longer linked from anywhere on our web site (or in any event isn't supposed to be).&nbsp; The material only applied to DevForce Classic, not DevForce EF, and is out of date in any case. You should use only the materials installed with the product. We'll be redirecting that URL so it doesn't expose the out-of-date materials.<br></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">The learning units, by design, have many different states. Some include full tutorials; some include only ReadMe or other documentation; and some contain only undocumented code solutions.&nbsp; There is not always time to document everything to the same level of completeness, but many people find the incompletely documented and even undocumented solutions we make available to be useful nonetheless.<br></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">I appreciate your taking the time to communicate with us about errors and problems that you find in the docs and learning materials. It helps us to improve them.</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">Best regards,</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">Greg Dunn</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">Training and Documentation Manager</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;">IdeaBlade</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;"><br></p>]]>
