4. Form BE/AD cross-form validations (effective end-June 2008 reporting)
An error has been discovered within the cross-form validations for Forms BE and AD. Validation numbers 7, 8 and 9 of the BE/AD cross-form validations have been updated so that the Form BE items should be greater than or equal to the Form AD items; they are currently equal to.
