Thanks Paul,

I renamed the map to "Default" originally and it still didn't work, so I
renamed it to "default" and it works fine.  I don't understand why we can
rename it to "WANmap" and it opens fine as root, but will not open as user.

Also, I set a variable a while back in a Netview config file allowing each
user to setup their own workspaces and it saves it within their user
NvEnvironments directories.  Now I can't remember which Netview file I made
this change to... any help would be great.

Thanks

Try setting WANmap as the default for that user or have you already done
that? NetView by default wants to open the map named Default, you have to
change this behavior.
So either, someone changed the default map for root to WANmap or there is an
alias or something in roots environment that is causing this to happen. I
would be willing to be when the user is starting the map, it is trying to
open the Default map.
