The most common problem is that the server isn't configured to serve kml files (I use a .xml extension on the http://www.geocodezip.com server because it doesn't allow .kml files to be served) What happens if you enter the public url of the kml file into your browser? (you haven't followed the posting guidelines and provided a link to your map or your kml so we can do that... I know you have indicated you are on a local machine, but it is much easier to help you if you follow the posting guidelines and make everything public) -- Larry > > Thanks again > > Noelette > > On Aug 6, 9:22 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > On Aug 6, 1:09 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > On Aug 6, 8:03 am, Noelette <[email protected]> wrote:> I'm > > > currently working on a local machine - I've not moved anything to the > > > > server yet.
