SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to link or import data from a data source that contains more than 2000 records to Microsoft MapPoint 2001, your computer may stop responding (hang).

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if both of the following conditions are true:

  • You attempt to link to or import more than 2000 records.
  • The records that you link or import include specific information such as street addresses.
Note: MapPoint 2002 has increased the allowable imported records to 10,000.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, use either of the following methods:

  • Make sure that the data source from which you link or import data contains a maximum of 2000 records.

  • Do not include street addresses in the records that you link or import.

MORE INFORMATION

You can map all of the records from a data source that contains over 2000 records by using geographic information that is less specific than street addresses, such as postal codes.
