Not sure what you mean, but you must work with your ActiveX (MapPointCtl) in VB6 if you do not plan to make an Comm Add-In to MapPoint.
1) Add your MapPoint Control to the Form
2) Add following code in Form_load to make it visible: Me.MappointControl1.NewMap MapPointCtl.GeoMapRegion.geoMapEurope
(or MapPointCtl.GeoMapRegion.geoMapNorthAmerica if you want that region)
