I have loaded about 75 custom icons into a map and then I want to address them by name. How do I select by name rather than by ID number.

I am sure it is something like objmap.Symbols.ItemByID (objmap.Symbol.Name) = "Test" or somthing like that.

Hi,

you can have your own array of pushpin but you can use findPushpin(name) to let mappoint find it for you

That one I got on my own after some tinkering around. I have loaded the 75 icons into a map through the Mappoint application using the icon loader suggested in another of my posts here.

I save the map, because the user added icons are saved in the map. That way I have an expanded library without having to load every time.

When running my Access application, I first load the map with the icons installed and then I call them by the file name they had when loaded.

I use:
objPushPin(xy).Symbol = objmap.Symbols.Item("Car.bmp")

It seems to work fine and the program is so far stable.

Thanks for all your help
