I follow the ch10 instructions and got some errors, you may need chinese support too read those error original massage(character set GB2312 is working well enough). I tried to figure out which english version error it is.

First, I ran the aspx code like this:
<asp:Panel id="pnlFixtureDetails" runat="server" Visible="False">
  <HEADERTEMPLATE>
     <asp:Repeater id="MatchesByDateList" runat="server">
     </asp:Repeater>
     <span style="WIDTH: 110px; HEIGHT: 25px">Date: </span>
     <span style="WIDTH: 135px; HEIGHT: 25px"><%# Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString() %>
     </span>
   </HEADERTEMPLATE>
   <ITEMTEMPLATE>
      <span style="WIDTH: 110px">Wrox Team</span>
      <span style="WIDTH: 135px"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "TeamName") %></span>
      <span style="WIDTH: 110px">Opposing Team</span>
      <span style="WIDTH: 135px"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OpponentName") %></span>
      <span style="WIDTH: 110px">Venue</span>
      <span style="WIDTH: 135px"><%# Venue((string)DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "OpponentLocation"), (int)DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Location")) %></span>
   </ITEMTEMPLATE>
   <SEPARATORTEMPLATE>

            </SEPARATORTEMPLATE>
</asp:Panel>

and the error report:

Then I turn to the files downloaded from Wrox, but still error:

The english version of the first paragraph i think is:
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '...'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
This error persisted even computer is restarted.

The questions is:
1 Why the compiler don't know "DateItem"
2 What's problem with the Access Jet?

The second problem lead from the wrong connection string:
'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.SHANGRI-LA\My Documents\BegASPNET11\data'
after correct the string:
'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.SHANGRI-LA\My Documents\BegASPNET11\data\*.mdb'
The code works well.
I think there are some spell mistake in the book for i copied the code from the .pdf file. I will try it

I am sorry make such stupid question desturbing everyone
the problem comes from the wrong tags:
<asp:Repeater id="MatchesByDateList" runat="server"></asp:Repeater>
  <headertemplate>
  .......
  </headertemplate>
  <itemtemplate>
  .........
  </itemtemplate>
