Try the Home Locator sample application article.. -

Another approach that may seem a bit unusual is used to generate a report that includes a map. When the report is opened, the application first saves the map as a web page and then strips out the GIF file that is used in the Access report.
hope this helps!

I don't believe so.. can you embed other controls on an Access report?

thanks, i have already downloaded the file but i am unable to view the source code. is there anywhere i can view vb code ?

i am starting to run out of ideas for using mappoint with a access report, do you think it can be done, to produce directions and a image of a map from a database in a access report ???

Yes, it's possible as the demo shows.. but it sounds like you might need to enlist someone who knows Access development to get it to work for you..

Hold down the shift key while opening the database, this will prevent "autoexec" events from firing and allows access to the database window.

The code John Washenberger put in the report is -

Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
  'Display the Map as the report's picture
  Me.Picture = GetAppDir & "map.gif"
End Sub
The forms have a lot more code.

good luck!
Eric
