Wow! The plot thickens. Things have definitely changed at BING. Now I am able to CRASH or LOCK-UP Legacy at will.
Would others please try the following to see if this happens to you. I would suggest opening a test file and not your real database or else make sure you have a current backup. 1. Using either the menu or the blue triangle for an information window, get to the Master Location List. 2. Click on the GEO-CODE box at the top and select "Geo-code all un-resolved locations through Virtual Earth" (message to programmers: please change Virtual Earth to its current incarnation of BING.) 3. An error window will appear. You may click YES, NO, or QUIT. 4. It doesn't matter what you click because you'll be stuck in an endless loop of getting another error, OUT OF STACK SPACE. You might get lucky and get back to the first error window but you are still stuck. There is no way to close Legacy without closing the error window, which refuses to do so. You will have to terminate the LEGACY.EXE process using Windows Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL) or just reboot. Seems as if BING changed the calls or parameters that needed to be passed to its interface and Legacy is stuck sending data using the old method which causes the lock-up or crash. Its not Legacy's fault because it used to work but as someone else already stated, "Microsoft moved the goalposts."

Brian has been logged it as issue number 0002956: "BING Interface No longer works to position map" and it has a high priority for the programmer's attention. The fix should appear in a free update to the Legacy program. I do not have a schedule for when that will happen.

It looks like the map doesn't refresh after changing to another location.
