If you are embedding a MapPoint ActiveDocument (i.e. in Internet Explorer or a frame), you get the toolbar in the window with the map. When you embed as a COM object (i.e. into Word, Excel, etc) you get the toolbar in the host application frame window. When you use the ActiveX Control (i.e. use the control in VB) you do not get the toobars, but you can turn them on programmatically, and they will show up in the control window, as if it were embedded into Internet Explorer.
