Unfortunately, using MapPoint application, I don't have the possibility to write the data source in this manner : Filename.udl!TableName. Fisrt, after clicking on Data>DataLink (or CTRL+L) I have to choice the UDL file to connect to the DataBase. The connection with the DataBase works ok because a new window containing all the tables and views appears. Then, I have to choice the Table or View and the connection fails at this moment. The view which I want to link data from is a list of zip codes like the following :

ID ZIP
1 22563
2 12120
3
4 22596

What am I doing wrong?. What are the other alternatives? Would I have to install an Access DataBase and try with? Or would I try writing a VB app ?. Anyway, I would prefer to solve the problem using a UDL over Oracle without VB programming.

Thanks for your help,

Miguel.
