Insert > Web Component > Error

Hello,
I'm trying to insert a link to a map using Insert > Web
Component > MSN Mapping Components in FP2003. Everytime I
try this I get this error:
'An Error has Occurred. we are unable to process your
request. Click the BACK button and try again. Or Try
later. I keep trying and it never works. This feature
worked in FP2002 when they were using Expedia Maps. I
cannot find anything in the Knowledge base about this
error - HELP! it's driving me nuts.

I just tried this moments ago and it worked fine.

Are you sure you have connectivity to maps.msn.com?

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the reply. I'm not exactly sure what you mean
my 'connectivy to maps.msn.com' but when I enter
maps.msn.com in the address line, it opens in my web
browser just fine. I am not sure if I have some 'custom'
option in FrontPage disabled or not. I don't really know
that much about it. If you have any other suggestions
please let me know. Thanks again.
