Adding multiple objects very quickly in succession produces errors

Problem

When working in the Book Editor and creating new topics by clicking the New Topic button, if you click it again several times really quickly you will get the following error:

ERROR DESCRIPTION
Module: frmTopic
Procedure: ObjectLoad
Number: 91
Description: Object variable or With block variable not set
Source: AuthorIT
Version: 4.1 (build: 4.1.###)

...followed by a few more similar errors.

Once it seems to have recovered, and you realize you need to slow down, you get a type mismatch error:

ERROR DESCRIPTION
Module: frmBookEditor
Procedure: CloseCurrentObject
Number: 13
Description: Type mismatch
Source: AuthorIT
Version: 4.1 (build: 4.1.###)

...every time you attempt to create a new topic. You need to exit and restart Author-it before you can carry on.

Solution

This will be corrected in a future release. In the meantime - calm down and click slower! It is good practice to name your topics as you go - avoiding the risk of unnecessary duplication, or of forgetting to rename your topic later when you could end up with a topic named New Topic (32) in your published output.
