Hello George, Have a look at http://www.dmap.co.uk/ll2tm.htm and http://www.posc.org/Epicentre.2_2/DataModel/ExamplesofUsage/eu_cs34.html The first link points to a web site that performs the conversion on line. It contains a reference to the second site, which provides the formulae for all kinds of map transformations, if you want to program them yourself. You can use the first site to test and debug your program by cross checking the outputs. By the way, I missed your inquiry when you originally made it, because it was buried in a thread about Lewis and Clark and River Navigation. It came up only by accident when I searched recent messages in my in-box for the term "Microsoft"! May I humbly suggest that we follow a recent suggestion of list member Ken Gebhart to give our messages more telling subject titles?
