1. Reopen the phone directory project. Add a command button named cmdReport and give
it a Caption of Show Report. (There may be two tabs in your toolbox, one named General

Project menu item, then click Add File. Choose denPhone and click OK. Also add
rptPhone. Look at your Project Window. Those files should be listed under Designers.
