I sent the file I wanted to import but couldn't and a sample file that came with the importer to a GIS expert. He determined that the files that are readily imported into MapPoint are Lat/Lon projections and the file I could not import was a different format. He used ArcGis projection utility to convert to the Lat/Lon framework and the file imported without a hitch.


I was reading the documentation on the importer to see if they specified the format - they didn't -- but they did say it was possible to alter the color or the thickness of the imported lines/shapes throgh the object model functions:

"Through the MapPoint object model functions you can also set the line color and size, shape fill color and even move the polygons and lines behind the MapPoint road network."

How do you get to those functions?
