Are there any ways to determine, by looking at the RAW Microsoft MapPoint Template, which version of Microsoft MapPoint (North America vs Europe and Year) was used to create the Template ?

Where is that information embedded in the MapPoint Template ? Where can I find the format of the MapPoint Template ?

Thanks

You can do this in VB with the following.

'Get Region
Sub GetMapRegion()

Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application

'enter path for the template
objApp.NewMap "C:\template.ptt"

'Set up the application
objApp.Visible = True
objApp.UserControl = True

'Is it the North American or European map?
If objApp.Region = geoMapNorthAmerica Then
MsgBox "The map is the North American map."
Else
MsgBox "The map is the European map."
End If

End Sub

'Get Version Number
Sub ApplicationVersionNumber()

Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application

objApp.NewMap "C:\mymapp.ptt"

'Set up the application
objApp.Visible = True
objApp.UserControl = True

'Get the application version number
MsgBox "MapPoint version: " + objApp.Version

End Sub
