I want to use Mappoint in Conjunction with OMNIS (RAD Tool). Are all the COM Methods available on the ActiveX? Also can you still get a Trial Version in the UK?

The ActiveX Control doesn't provide all the methods, but it provides most. The ones it doesn't provide are specific to controlling the UI (toolbars etc.) which don't exist in a UI-less OCX.



The ActiveX Control is certified for use within VB only. It works reasonably well with some other languages, but there could be minor and possibly major issues with a very different environment.




I think you can order trial versions via the UK Microsoft.com website. If that doesn't work, call Microsoft UK and ask fo the MapPoint product manager - that may work too.
