Hello all,

I am using the code below to import data from a text file and map it. I get the data on the map if I set map type to Pushpin, but if I try and map any other type of map - say, a pie chart with the 3 zips and associated data I have in the text file for each - I get a mapping error (something like NA - 13, type mismatch)...any ideas?

Thanks
MM
