I have exactly the same problem. I'm using mappoint 2004 and Excel, nothing else. I made a excel sheet with customers who needs to be visited.
for example, in 1 week 30 costumers needs to be visited, I have their name, zipcode etc in an excel sheet. I use the import data wizard to load these customers into my Map I have created in Mappoint. then I use the route planning option to calculate the most efficient route.
I use my adress where I live as start point.
i set the start and end time of my driving day in the more route options, for example start driving at 8.00 and stop driving at 18.00

in the route schedule my last costumer who fits into the planning for 1 day is my last pushpin. day 2 starts at that pushpin.

But I want to add that mappoint calculates the way home, and use my home adress as the starting point for day 2, 3,4 and 5 So I can get 5 mini routes for all 5 days.
