I have an address form in Access 2003 that contains the usual address
information such as AddressLine1, AddressLine2, City, State, etc... I would
like to put a button on this form that feeds the address info into MapPoint,
along with a fixed return address, and gets driving directions - or at least
get a map of the destination.
I have the MapPoint software, but have not used it. Will MapPoint provide
driving directions, or just a map? Anyone have some canned VBA code they
would care to share?
Thanks!

You'll find the Find method, which you can feed a more-or-less
complete address, and it will find one or more hits.
Having MapPoint calculate a route between two points also is just a
dozen or so lines of code. You'll probably find some sample code
included with a full installation of MapPoint, or on microsoft.com.
I once wrote an add-in for Act! contact manager that did just that. A
bit more code than I'm willing to share here, but really not all that
difficult.

Hi,
the various samples, provided at www.mp2kmag.com will help you here, but you
need a small bit of VBA knowledge, to do that. Also http://msdn.microsoft.com/mappoint
contains interesting samples
Mappoint contains also a routing part, not only streets.
I think, the right forum for your question is microsoft.publi c.mappoint

I'm fairly confident of my understanding of Automation, but I have not
installed MapPoint yet - so that might be a good place to start...
Thanks for the reply!

Hi.
Is there anybody who have tried to use python to access Microsofts
MapPoint soap services? I am trying hard but I have run into a big

I am automating mappoint in access and was wondering what is a better
way to have the mappoint map running all the time:
1.call it as a seperate application
OR
2. as an activex control within a form in access.
Both will give me the same data results, but I am more concerned about
performance.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
