Initialize?

[unba1300]

Another newbie question: what does Initialize really do?

I have a map file that the app reads on Create and writes to after the user changes settings from three different dialogs, but I never initialize the map anywhere, and it still works. Thanks.

THIS might help you out.

File.ReadMap creates a map internally and returns it. So you if you have a code such as:

Dim m As Map
m = File.ReadMap(...)

You do not need to call Initialize as you are assigning an already initialized map to 'm'.
This is exactly the purpose of Initialize. It allows you to declare a variable and not initialize it as it sometimes not needed.
