Troubleshooting
Problem
A user designed custom map using Map Manager renders correctly in HTML/Excel 2002/PDF. But report output in Export 2007 does not display the map.
Symptom
User gets the following error when opening the Excel 2007 output

When he selects yes and moves ahead, the user can see the other parts of the report properly but in place of the image map holder the user can see a red cross and error message as shown below. i.e. This image cannot currently be displayed.
