Hello,

(I use the Mappoint's ocx in a VB program).

I would like to import data from a text file.

I have create a file wich contains:
first line: title information like "code, town, country..."
Second line: informations like "002,Paris, france..."

So, I ask me how does Mappoint will understand that the second field is the town, the third is the country...

Somebody could ligth me please ?

Thanks !

You will use the methods ImportData (if you only do it once) or LinkData (if you want to be able to update the data).

If you use following titles in your text-file, MapPoint will know what to look for:
Street address
Postcode
City
Country/Region
(see clients.mdb in \samples directory of MapPoint)

Then just import it to a dataset on the active map like this:

Me.MapPointControl1.ActiveMap.Datasets.ImportData "Filename.txt"

You can then decide what you want to show in the PushPin balloon with the method SetFieldsVisibleInBalloon.
