		Thursday June 12, 1997 Creating custom greeting cards with Corel's QuickTasks from from Inside Corel WordPerfect Suite 7 Thanks to Corel's QuickTasks, one of the accessory programs you can install with Corel Suite 7, you can create a custom greeting card using just a few keystrokes. Handling failure with style from Inside Visual Basic Peter Vogel shows how you can handle errors in a way that effectively converts the GoTo command into a well-behaved subroutine. More important, this technique will make your code better structured, more understandable, and easier to maintain. Finding jobs and being found for jobs from Power Searching with Alta Vista Both job seekers and recruiters can benefit from using AltaVista Search and from posting their information on the Web in a way that maximizes their prospects. Using parameters with forms from Exploring Oracle Developer/2000 & Designer/2000 The clever use of parameters in Oracle Developer/2000 can help you present a form tailored to the user by hiding or showing objects, prepressing buttons, or modifying default where clauses for queries.	Reinstalling the Windows 95 upgrade from Inside Microsoft Windows 95 If your hard drive crashes and you replace it, you'll need more than just your Windows 95 upgrade to reinstall Windows. However, you won't have to completely reinstall Windows 3.1 to the new hard drive. Begin by running Windows 95 Setup--but don't despair when Setup pauses because it can't locate the previous version of Windows. Just insert the Windows 3.x Disk 1 in drive A, click the Locate button, and specify drive A as the location. Setup will see that you own a legal copy of Windows 3.x and proceed with the Windows 95 installation.
