SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to import data from Microsoft Excel into Microsoft MapPoint
2001, you may experience any of the following symptoms:

- You may receive the following message:

  No records in the set were matched. Do you want to keep the set?

- You may be unable to successfully map the imported data.

- Under "Range type" in the Data Mapping Wizard, only the "Unique values (e.g.,
  text)" option may be available.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur if the data that you attempt to import from Excel
contains more than one row of column headings.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:

- Make sure that the data in Excel does not contain more than one row of column
  headings.

- In Excel, name the range of cells that you want to import. In MapPoint 2001,
  you can use the Data Mapping Wizard to select a Named Range of cells.

  For information about how to name a range of cells in Excel, start Excel,
  click Microsoft Excel Help on the Help menu, type "Name a cell or a range of
  cells" (without the quotation marks), click "Name cells in a workbook", and
  then click "Name a cell or a range of cells".

STATUS
======
