MapForums

I am new to Mappoint, so this question probably has been answered in the past. I have a set of addresses with the street and city information, but no zip code information. Is there a way I can import this into Mappoint, then export it back out with the correct zip code info? Any help would be appreciated.

Sure, with VB code you can use the "FindResults" method to get the PostalCode.
You can find code to bring data into MapPoint here. The following code shows how to use the "FindResults" method to get the "PostalCode" property.
<pre>
Dim objLocFR As MapPointCtl.Location
Dim objMap As MapPointCtl.Map
Dim objFind As MapPointCtl.FindResults

Set objMap = ctlMapPoint.ActiveMap
Set objFind = objMap.FindResults("SR-520 & 148th Ave NE, Redmond, WA")
For Each objLocFR In objFind
Debug.Print objLocFR.StreetAddress.PostalCode
Next
</pre>


You could then update a database with the zip code.


I couldn't find a way to do it using the Import Data Wizard, or any other way that would not involve code.
