Adrian,
        Thanks, that does help. I am having a problem though with my main
map. The submaps are not propagating the alarms properly. When a submap
displays a problem, the submap icon for that submap on the main map does not
change. I think this is a polling issue but is it possible something else
could not be configured?

Thanks,
Chris
