Hi Mike,

Well - still got issues !

I was trying to say that I can't change the pushpin symbols or even draw a textbox instead of the pushpins at each position. Nothing I do changes the map display ! So my code in the earlier message to you has removed the pushpin object in the loop and replaced it with a Textbox. But yet the map still displays pushpins when I run the code ! I don't get it at all !!!

My altered code for looping through my data set is:

'now loop through each data element, assign it to a variable and use the variable to plat a pushpin position
For Each objField In objDataSet.Fields
myLong = objDataSet.Fields("long").Value 'this is my longitude
myLat = objDataSet.Fields("lat").Value 'this is my latitude
myName = objDataSet.Fields("name").Value ' name of the position
location = AxMappointControl1.ActiveMap.GetLocation(myLong, myLat) 'plot the position

AxMappointControl1.ActiveMap.Shapes.AddTextbox(loc ation, 50, 10)
AxMappointControl1.ActiveMap.Shapes.Item(1).Fill.V isible = True
AxMappointControl1.ActiveMap.Shapes.Item(1).Text = myName
Next objField

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your congradulations ! albeit short lived.
I tried changing my code and instead of displaying a pushpin I thought I would have a go at drawing a textbox at each position. But when I run it nothing happens - pushpins still appear and no sign of text boxes at all !! Before I post to the forum - am I missing something really basic here ? - Is there a mapPoint cache that needs clearing or something ?

hi fiend i want to download google maps how can i get it?
