I am having a fun time workign with Mpa Point, in particular intergratign external data!

Most of my data points are from US, so the state codes like "TN, IL ect ect" import fine...

Now for canadian point si have proper Postal Code, and the noted 2 letter provincial code but they wont import...

Is there a workaround to this or a special set of codes I need to know.

Are you working with MapPoint programmatically or directly with the normal user interface?

In either case, check the Country specification, it's easy to overlook. It won't work to import "ON" or "QC" as U.S. states if that makes sense, be sure to choose "Canada" or "Multi-country".

hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply!

Where do I find the option to choose Multicountry? I looked in Options and didt see it!

If with the normal user interface, I think you should see a drop-down for Country.

Do you want to share more details or the exact steps you are going through to import the data? Screenshots or code snippets might also help.
