Dear Greg Absolute guess work - but could it be that the map is now in Non Earth Projection and that although it looks nice and looks to scale the cordinates are not representative of any true projection. Therefore when you try to convert them the transformed position doesn't exist in the new coordinate system? Well I did say it was guess work! If this did proe to be the case you would need a program to scale up or down the coords and probably "shift" them at the same time to a correct origin.
