Mappoint 2004 - Get GPS Coordinate from addresses in batch

I am a farily new user of Mappoint. What I am trying to accomplish I would figure to be fairly easy. I have a delimited address file that I want Mappoint to return the GPS coordinates for. This file could get large so I want to batch process it.

Thanks in advance,

Yes this can be done with a little bit of programming.

Be aware that it is unlikely that MapPoint will find 100% of the addresses. This might be due to spelling mistakes, new addresses, changes of zipcode, etc,etc.

I've seen hit-rates on this kind of batch search as low as 65% (Scotland, MapPoint 2002), and close to 100% (dairies in the US).

UK addresses are more informal than US ones - hence the very low hit rate.
For the UK example, I actually tried a few variations, mapping the database address fields to the MapPoint fields in different ways. This added a few percent to the hit rate.
