Thanks Al. I was hoping somebody else had done something similar, and I wouldn't have to lay the pavement on this road!<g>

If anyone is interested in the scripting code to generate a google map using vfp, I'd be more than happy to post it.

>>Has anyone done anyting with VFP scripting to create Google Map pages? I have done quite a bit, but if you have a page with more than 50-60 icons, it chokes. I see some pages that are incorporating an accompanying xml document and the icons seem to load quickly, but I would rather be able to keep it all in the html of the google page, and if someone has found something that is faster, I'd like to see what they did.
