BING Maps incompatabile????????????????

[morganwilliams]

Need Help!!
Can't get data to package with Bing Imagery Links in .MXD!!!
Other GIS server links for imagery seem to work from .MXD to .PMF??
I turned it off and re-published map and this works for BING on my workstation as a .PMF, but not on clients' ArcReader only computer.?? Also, all data layers are broken Red ! on clients' CPU????
I've tried all possible options under the Publisher extension.
Is there no way to turn off or remove from the .pmf &(Data folder) and possibly re-add BING on the User/client end in ArcReader????
Please, PLEASE Advise!
Thanks for all the support!!

Thank YOU Juan!!!
Please keep on top of this as this was my sole justification for buying an ArcInfo level license with multiple extensions.
Is there a better way or vehicle to distribute pre-symbolized multi-layered maps that a user can enter coordinates into and see if they are in or out of certain layers/zones???
I tried ArcExplorer but didn't seem as pre-symbolized by extents and digestible as ArcReader has been for me.
I guess I may have to go to Google Earth as many of my Users have requested????
Also, I have always had to keep data in existing format when packaging, but it still appears to be some sort of Geo-database in CW01## folders?
I wanted to have more speed for my users as I am losing out to Google Earth and its' quicker tileing of imagery.
Please advise!!

Has this bug been resolved? I use to be able to publish maps for Arc Reader with Bing as one of the layers and no longer can.

Thanks,
Wendy

Wendy,

In looking into this bug for you, it is still at the above mentioned status of "New". One item I would suggest is to post this within the Ideas site, and then have it promoted as much as possible. Gracias!
