Kurt,
Using a Map Status probe can provide a convenient way to move to another map - a simple double-click opens the second map. You can add another Map Status icon on the second map, and it will allow you to "get back to" the first map. But there's a problem... Because each Map Status probe shows the most serious condition on the other map, it will "lock up" because a problem on one map is reflected in the map status icon on the other map, which causes its map status probe to show that problem. Even after the original fault clears, the map status icon still remains bad, and it feeds that status back to the other map. There is no convenient way to get out of this situation. Consequently, you should use the technique described in this KB topic to create links to other maps: http://forums.dartware.com/viewtopic.php?t=392&highlight=map+status Regards, Janice Losgar Dartware, LLC (603) 643-9600 x114 On Sep 13, 2010, at 12:41 PM, Freiberger, Kurt wrote: > Whilst rebuilding InterMapper onto a new server, I was setting up an > Overview Map, with submaps of groups of equipment.
