I am a rookie looking to display Mappoint data from a SQL Database. Funny thing is, I know how to input all the records using the mappoint object, but I cannot see them! I know they are there because when I execute a .printout method, I see the data, but for some reason I am not displaying the records on my control. I could have sworn a friend used an image control or something other than the *.ocx (which I do not believe is on my machine.) Any help would be appreciated.

Here's my code: also, my mappoint control is named mpNA for "North America". ELR

PS I do realize I've commented out the while / wend. I just wanted to map one object and then see it for now. I will worry about mapping all the records as soon as I figure this out. ELR

Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection

cn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=MLS;Data Source=192.168.1.101;Password=.saile"
cn.Open
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
rst.Open "select * " & _
"from idxarkmls1 " & _
"where town='" & txtCity.Text & " " & cboState.Text & "'", cn
'While Not rst.EOF
Set objLoc = objMap.Find("Rogers" & "," & cboState.Text)
objLoc.GoTo

'// Create a new pushpin
Set objPushPin = objMap.AddPushpin(objLoc, strLocationText)

'// Display the balloon
objPushPin.BalloonState = geoDisplayBalloon

'// Change pushpin symbol to one of the standard symbols
'// 26 is a yellow circle
objPushPin.Symbol = 26

objPushPin.Highlight = True
objPushPin.Note = "This is the address you selected!"

rst.MoveNext
'Wend
'objMap.PrintOut
rst.Close
cn.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set cn = Nothing
End Sub

Did you dim/set you mappoint objects?

Are you sure the cboState.Text contains data?

Set objLoc = objMap.Find("Rogers" & "," & cboState.Text)

You've probably done this already, but it may be worth while to look at the results you SQL statement and then manually search for some of the locations.
(I.e. do what you want be hand to simulate how the code is working.)

I see in your code, you're not checking to make sure the recordset is populated.
I'd add something like
if not (rs.eof and rs.bof) then 'this makes sure the recordset isn't empty
rs.movefirst
'insert loop here...
...what you have ...
end if


(I didn't see strLocationText = "...", so I assume you removed that from the snip...)

I know they are there because when I execute a .printout method, I see the data

Do you mean that objMap.printout results is a printed map showing the PushPins, but that you cannot see them on the control?
