Unable to Change to Street Map from Road Atlas

PSS ID Number: Q152036 Article last modified on 06-05-1996

WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

When you attempt to change to an Automap Streets area map from an open window in Automap Road Atlas, the requested action is not performed.

This behavior only occurs on the most recently opened windows, and after you have opened four or more new windows in Road Atlas. The first four windows you open do not exhibit this behavior.

= WORKAROUND =

Exit, and then restart Microsoft Automap Road Atlas.

Do not open more than three new windows during a session of Automap Road Atlas, or use one of the initial four windows to switch to the desired area map.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Automap Road Atlas version 4.0 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

= STEPS TO REPRODUCE PROBLEM =


 * 1) With Road Atlas and Streets installed and running properly, open three new windows in Road Atlas (On the Window menu, click New).
 * 2) Close one of the four open windows.
 * 3) On the Window menu, click New to open a new window.
 * 4) Click the Streets icon on the button bar, and then click inside the new window.

Result: The click is ignored.
