Opening an existing data set

Posted 02-19-2008 at 11:22 AM by George Altieri

I am having trouble connecting to my data set. It looks like my code for entering the path is correct.
Set objDS=objApp.OpenMap(objApp.Path & "
Data Base File Name
When I enter this it is not accepted.

I believe that the OpenMap method only works to open a map, and does not by itself connect you to a datasource. The filename reference is for which map you want to open, either one of your own or the default map- either way it will be a .ptm file.

An option for you may be to open MP on its own, and create a map linked to your datasource. Then save this map. For simplicity sake I will call it ds1.ptm

Then you can open it like this

Code:

Sub OpenDS1()
   Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
   objApp.Visible = True
   objApp.UserControl = True
   objApp.OpenMap objApp.Path +"ds1.ptm"
End Sub
