Updated Tutorials for RB [Correction]

[Chuck Pelto]

In the time-honored tradition of "Fixing the problem, changes the 
problem", the code that DOES work is as follows:

Sub Action()
   dim bSuccess as boolean // had to declare a variable to receive the 
result, which is a boolean
   bSuccess = mDatabase.mPerson.DeleteRecord
   PopulatePanes
End Sub
