15. (Time Permitting) Current Issues  DS Mapbook and NW Mapbook COM limitations force loss of previous map series after recompiling application. Aware of a work around, but no budget allocated to develop the work around. COM limitations force loss of previous map series after recompiling application.

Core ArcGIS Memory problems to be fixed in 9.2 limit 9.1 map series to between 20 and 80 map sheets.

Examples include: Many enhancement ideas are available, but none can be implemented outside a billable project. Examples include: Exporting/Importing map series to/from XML or Geodatabase repository. This idea would work around problem of losing map series from compiling, and would allow loading of map series between MPS Atlas and NW Mapbook once MPS Atlas is customizable.Exporting/Importing map series to/from XML or Geodatabase repository.
