Alanna, Difficult to answer as you do not say how to are accessing VE and whether you Internet Explorer installed (you need not ever use it),
Assuming you have IE7 and have just clicked the icon - then instead go to View>Master Sources>Locations and check that the "Show Maps" box is checked, if not check it. You may gave to wait a while or even leave the page and go back to it before it first works. If it is not that please tell us: Windows Version RAM available What methods of getting to VE have you tried What showed on the Screen Whether you have IE7 installed Ron Ferguson _____________________________________________________________________ New Blog: Free Contacts Database for use with Open Office http://www.fergys.co.uk View the Grimshaw Family Tree at: http://www.fergys.co.uk/Grimshaw/ For The Fergusons of N.W.

I tried to create a map and all I get is a blank window.

I do not have a comma between the house number/name and the street ie. they are in the same field, and I wondered if separating the two makes any difference when it somes to using VE mapping. At present it takes me to the road (if known) but would it still look for the road or the house name/number if it was in the first field? BTW I haven't separated only because that is the way I started doing it!
