Hi I'm new to the forum and this question may have been asked before if so sorry for the repeat.
I have an access 2007 database which holds geographic data amongst other information, what I want to do is add a map of the geographic point (say 1 mile square around the point) stored in the record displayed in the form. I have MapPoint Europe 2004 & 6 and might buy 2010 if needed.

I can display all the geodata in MapPoint by exporting from the database but I’d like the map to display within the database.
Any help would be much appreciated

There are some examples of MapPoint and Access in the articles on MP2K Magazine -- MapPoint Articles - MP2K Magazine (http://www.mp2kmag.com/articles.asp)

Also I've done this a couple of times for applications in the UK using vba. If you want me to dig out some example code at any stage then let me know.

Thanks David, I'd be grateful for some examples, my VBA is a bit rusty but providing VB6 is still ok with Office 2007 and MapPoint 6 onwards I should be able to work through them.

Send me an e-mail address via my contact details and I'll send through some code (may have to be at the w/e).
