John - have you found any work-around for issues 1 & 3? To me, they are core issues. In fact, I may not upgrade to 10 if it means having to re-create all my 9.3.1 mxds that contain DSMapbook sets. The tools in 10 may be great for NEW work, but ........... Regards I think I may have found a workaround for issue # 1. It took some setting up but you can do it pretty easily with no coding involved. This will basically give you a list of the page names in an attribute table with a page number for look up purposes. First I added a field to my layer that contains all of the page names/index. I called it page number. Sorted the page names alphabetically and then calculated the Page Number field starting with 1. We have over 7000 pages in our mapbook and remembering the name is quite a pain. Open your project that you have your mapbook set up in. Follow the steps to set up your DDP. Click the down arrow on the DDP toolbar and choose Show Page. Open the attribute table of the layer containing Page Number and Page Name. Hide all fields besides those two. Pin the attribute table to the right side of the screen by the toolbox and catalog menus and resize it to whatever you want it to look like. You should now have at least a look up table that give you a page number for each map. Type that number into the DDP toolbar and press enter. Once you have it set up how you want it, open the Customize menu �?�Customize Mode �?� Options and check the box to save all customizations to the document. This will allow you to move around the attribute table in any other mxd but retain the setting in this map book. You can even password protect the customizations so your users can�??t move things around and save the project. We have over 15 users getting into this project daily and this should solve our issue of not having the map series tab anymore. Hope this helps a little.
