How do you obtain/set the maps Scale. I.E 1:10000 etc...

Thanks

There is no scale property, per se. You can set the scale by zooming to a dataset to get the best view of all of the pushpins in it. You can also set the Altitude property of the map. Also check the MapPoint Help for the Map's PixelSize property. You could probably use that to calculate anything you want. It is read only, so you can't use it to set the scale.
