Mr kpe

I have seen a program (not Access) that allows a user on a form to push a
hyperlink button on a record with an address on it and retrieve a map from
the internet. Can that be done in Access?

I'm working on a program that integrates Access with MapPoint. This uses
active content to automate the map process. You can also store the hyperlink
to a specific map in an Access database, and retrieve that map.

Is this going to be something I could see soon?

Mr kpe,

There are some MapPoint / Access integration examples at -
http://www.mp2kmag.com/articles.asp

In particular I'd recommend the P.F. Chang's and Home Locator articles
though there are at least a few others as well.

Eric,

I really liked the solution in the PF Changs article, but I cannot seem to
replicate it in Access 2003 with Mappoint 2004. If I copy and paste the
control and the code, or create each from new, it does not work. i have made
sure that the control name matches the object referenced in the code. The
only difference I can see is that the sample db uses Mappoint Control 9.0 and
I have 11.0. Could this be the cause? Thanks.
