I've been following the example in the Help menu, but am still having difficulty...

Am writing an Excel macro, to open a MapPoint 2004 map:

Set mpApp = New MapPoint.Application
mpApp.Visible = True
mpApp.UserControl = True
mpApp.OpenMap mpApp.Path + ("C:\Documents and Settings\A Kolos\My Documents\Excel Mappoint\LHIN.ptm")

(just like in the example), although syntax asks for:
object.OpenMap(Filename, [AddToRecentFiles])
but I keep getting an error message that says the file can't be found...

any thoughts?
thanks,
andriy

The line

mpApp.OpenMap mpApp.Path + ("C:\Documents and Settings\A Kolos\My Documents\Excel Mappoint\LHIN.ptm")

specifies an invalid path. Try removing the "mpApp.Path + " from that line.

Can you show the code on that for Streets & Trips?

Streets&Trips does not have a programmable interface.

I know it is a purely newbie - silly question but can anyone post the proper code to open an existing map please?

I must say I'm a bit lost with the "objmap", "objapp", "oapp" etc. codes & don't know what the "object" should be before "Open.map ("path")

Hi,

Maybe this will get you started: What's New at MP2K Magazine - The Magazine for MapPoint
