Map Point in VB6

Hey all, first off I would like to appologize if this is in the wrong section, I looked over the forum, and could not find a better place.

I am a long time VB6 user (ASP,HTML,SQL,JS,VBS,TCL also known) but only recently started with integrating MapPoint.

Ulitimatly, my goal is as follows. A .dll I install on my server, which I can reference in order to provide door to door directions, that include certain waypoints for people to check out (upgrading my trip planner on www.strangeusa.com which currently uses google maps, and only partially works - just lists off locations to check out along your path).



So back to my question:
I have figured out how to add pin points on the maps (using ocx in vb6), but for the life me I cant figure out how to create or extract the directions from MapPoint. Could some one please post some sample source code that does the following.

-Get a few address's
-plot them on the map
-get 'break points' every 30 miles or so
-get directions
-output results to a textbox or listbox

I would be happy to trade code/ databases as a thank you for your efforts.



please contact me through asdfmont@hotmail.com
