  • Microsoft MapPoint 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you link or import currency data from a Microsoft Excel workbook to Microsoft MapPoint 2000, the currency data may be sorted improperly in the Data Mapping wizard.

  1. Start Excel.
  2. Open the workbook from which you want to link or import data to MapPoint 2000.
  3. Click the worksheet that contains the data you want to link or import.
  4. Select the column that contains the currency data.
