http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/web/using-databases-with-gmaps-apps You can't access a database from Javascript, because the security model doesn't allow that. So you need to get the database to output its data and have the map use that. The normal way of doing that is to load the data as XML... http://econym.googlepages.com/basic3.htm ...and have the XML generated on the fly by the server which hosts the database. The top link here talks mainly in terms of MySQL databases and PHP (with a bit of SQL Server and ASP) but provided you have a webserver which can run some sort of scripting you should be able to use Access as the database. NB: **This** group is for problems with the API; there are some people here who can deal with PHP and a few who might help with ASP. Helping with and debugging server-side stuff like databases is extremely difficult [by definition, really, we shouldn't be able to get at your server back-end!] and there's no guarantee that anyone here will be able to deal with Access, especially if it involves ODBC integration. I've certainly avoided supporting Access very successfully...
