If you have external data (cf census demographic data) , the link with MapPoint spatial database is on the name of territory . With Spain, Italy,Germany and France, you have to take care of of Municipality name to make a correct link.

To make a sample i have some external data:


38403 SAINT-JEAN-D'HERANS 241

So that is official data from census office in France

In MapPoint, you cannot link data with the official number of that territory (38403)
So you need to link it with name field

But in MapPoint the name is
Saint-Jean-d'Hérans

the name is not matching with census table
(in France we have 36 565 municipality, so imagine what a nightmare!)

I make a national french table to match MapPoint municipality name with official census code to match it quickly
