You're referring to custom territories? MapPoint wasn't set up this way because no authoratitive office collects and uses that data. You'll have to settle for freeform drawing and code. Mike Mattys |

I suppose territories is what they would be called, I'm not sure the wording. For example, If I want to shade everything from the middle of Arizona to the middle of Maine to the top left of Alaska, could I? If not, I know I can add the map as a control on a form, is there a way to get the location within the map from that control? ie. 38° 22' N 81° 36' W in map coords to 100,100 control coords? If so, I believe I can shade my areas in this manner. |

You'd use the Drawing Tools, usually located in the lower left corner, to draw a rectangle or other shape. Once drawn, you can change its interior color and border line thickness and color. Most pertinent, once the shape is selected (box handles), you can right- click on the shape, choose order, and send behind roads. The shape will have either width & height or vertices. Vertices will be best to work with because you can obtain the latitude and longitude. Also, in code you can .QueryShape. (I hope you'll find these keywords in MapPoint Help) Mike Mattys |
