Can the geography reference be changed in the MapPoint generated hyperlink function. We generate web based maps for our company intranet and would help if user could see a name rather than geography reference on a mouse over.

There are several options for generating the hyperlink, with geography being one of them. The most simple way to control the URL that is used would be to create a hyperlink field in the data being imported into MapPoint. Then set the "HyperlinkField" property to the dataset field containing the hyperlink url. See the VB help for the "HyperlinkField" property. This can also be accessed through the UI by right-clicking on the pushpin set, and selecting "Properties". Navigate to the "Hyperlink" tab and set the Hyperlink Field.
