There is a problem with the install procedure in that release. Please 2x-click 
on
.\Visual_Basic\NWMapBookUIPrj.reg and anwer yes to import it (see issue#51,
issue#53). If the definition query still doesn't work let me know.

Hi maphew, I have done the steps you requested.

I perhaps wasn't clear in my initial comment.  
The dynamic definition query works as expected when i change pages 
interactively,   
that part is all good.  
The problem is when I try to export the map series to pdf/jpg the definition 
query is 
locked to the active page so it only works correctly for ONE page.

I am experiencing this same problem. Has the issue been resolved yet? Is there a
workaround (other than *manually* exporting each map?!) Thanks!

Sorry Matt, no resolution yet.

Developers: on 
[http://forums.esri.com/thread.asp?c=93&f=989&t=211395&m=662295#662295
this thread] Larry Young says to  "...add some code to the top of the
IDSMapPage_DrawPage routine to update the definition query for your layer. 
Putting
the code in this routine will insure the query is updated before each page is 
drawn."

and it looks like
[http://edndoc.esri.com/arcobjects/9.2/ComponentHelp/esriCarto/IFeatureLayerDefi
nition_Example.htm
IFeatureLayerDefinition] is the component to be inserted though some work will 
be
needed to figure how to not hardcode the query.

It is a shame that there is no resolution to this so far - this feature is very 
handy

I have run into this problem as well.  Has there been any resolution?  Having 
this
functionality would be fantastic for my project as I have a series of 1200+.

We are having the same issue.  We routinely run 300+ maps in a series.  A 
solution 
would save us many hours.

An out of band work around, still slow but would save on the human time, would 
be to
try Sikuli, "a visual technology to search and automate graphical user 
interfaces
(GUI) using images (screenshots)." http://groups.csail.mit.edu/uid/sikuli/ 

I've not use it yet myself, but the premise is intriguing.
