Re: MP demographic data

I just read in my MP for Dummies book that there is a web site with lot's of downloadable data. It lists it in the section on demographic data (around pg. 175). I think I'll be able to assemble enough from various sources.

btw, I was going to import the data into Access so I could use the group by and count features in a query to get counts of residents by zip, county, and state, but I read taht map point has a count option when you run the import wizard. That way I could just use the Excel file without using access. How close do you think the results of the two methods would be? Which would be better?

Do you think I can get two maps per Power Point slide so I can show a map of our membership data with a map of demographic data in one slide, one under the other?

Thanks, Paul.
