There must be something wrong.
I got my tag on the map with no problem.

The membership map is beginning to fill in nicely. Well done, Jon. Great feature for us to play with.

Jon,
I've got a degree in Computer Science and have been writing code for a business system for over 20 years. (We're in a legacy environment doing a form of Basic, I also do some Unix, EDI transactions, etc.) I have to tell you, coding will also have it share of errors, its just part of life. You've taken on a daunting task with the MSTA web site and forum. I don't know how much formal training you have but you get two big thumbs up from me for the job you've done.

I always tell my fellow programmers at work "While bugs may be a problem, at least we're not dealing with a super critical system like those involved in space travel, nuclear arms, or other systems where a minor mistake could have catastrophic results." I don't know how those folks do their job knowing the consequences.

Unfortunately it is one of the many things lost with the last server crash/upgrade. I recall adding mine once before and there were quite a few members.

Which reminds me, is there still an MSTA MAN thread around somewhere. I searched and couldn't find one. May be time to start another one....
