---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
- Microsoft Automap Road Atlas for Windows, version 4.0
- Microsoft Automap Streets for Windows, version 4.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you attempt to change to an Automap Streets area map from an open
window in Automap Road Atlas, the requested action is not performed.
 
This behavior only occurs on the most recently opened windows, and
after you have opened four or more new windows in Road Atlas. The first
four windows you open do not exhibit this behavior.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
Exit, and then restart Microsoft Automap Road Atlas.
 
Do not open more than three new windows during a session of Automap
Road Atlas, or use one of the initial four windows to switch to the
desired area map.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Automap Road
Atlas version 4.0 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE PROBLEM
==========================
 
1. With Road Atlas and Streets installed and running properly, open three
   new windows in Road Atlas (On the Window menu, click New).
 
2. Close one of the four open windows.
 
3. On the Window menu, click New to open a new window.
 
4. Click the Streets icon on the button bar, and then click inside the
   new window.
 
Result: The click is ignored.
