I am importing around 500 items into MapPoint from Excel. I have done it different ways with multicolored pushpins for the size of the client, etc. I still have not found a way to, for example, individually number each pushpin to correlate to each item in Excel. The end result I am looking for is a map with small numbers on it (instead of the typical pushpin) and a legend listing the number and the client. I don't mind using the Excel sheet as the legend, but don't know how I can correlate the numbering situation. I have also added a column/field in Excel with a unique number ID then used it as the name in the balloon for each pushpin. However, when I click the "view balloon data" they all overlap too much, and I'm unable to read many of them.
The other thing I have done is import all the pushpins and get MapPoint to do a route planner using all the pushpins, optimizing stops. It then numbers all of the stops with the yellow boxes and lists them in the route planner. I have not, however, found a way to print the list of stops in the route planner without printing all the directions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks
