Jim,

I D/L'd the file and it looks like it would be great, but it doesn't work
for me. I have the .DLL, OCX, and the XML parser file mentioned in the text.
But here's the error I get:

"C:\windows\temp\mpse132.tmp is not a valid Mapsource file and could not be
opened". Notice the suffix of .TMP on the file instead of .MPS

If I right click the gpx file to open in MapSource, I get the same error
with the suffix of .TMP.

If I use EasyMPS to save the file as an .MPS (which it does) and then use
MapSource to open it, I get the error indicating it's not a valid mapsource
file and couldn't be opened.
Any ideas?

Rich
