I have a recordset whose pushpins have a number of different symbols ... when
trying to obtain the symbol value of any individual pushpin I am always
getting a return of "336" ...

Code goes something like

rs.movefirst
While not rs.EOF
c = rs.pushpin.symbol (tried c as short, long, and integer - it always
returns 336)
rs.movenext
End while

What am I missing?

Hi,

While this does not answer your question, is that you may never trust others software. Keep you own array of pushpins, then you know what you doing.
