I have been asked to create an application that will allow a user to input a
latitude and longitude and to return information about that point from one
of
two map layers.  This sounds like it should be a fairly standard application
for
a mapping program, but I haven't been able to find a solution so far.  First
off,
I am trying to use Integrated mapping (VB5.0 professional and MapInfo
runtime 4.12).
If there is a better way to do this then I am more then willing to listen to
suggestions.

If integrated mapping is a viable solution, how do I open more than one
table in a
window?  I have no trouble getting a window to pop up with a map in it, I
just can't
get the two maps to overlay each other(one is a map of US county borders and
the other
is a map of US PSAP's, public safety answering points).

Once I get the two maps to overlay each other, then I need to be able to
take a latitude
and longitude, and return information regarding the PSAP that covers that
point.  If no
PSAP covers that point, then I need to return the county and state
information.  Are
these sort of tasks possible using integrated mapping?  A combination of
SearchPoint()
and SearchInfo() seems like it should work, but I haven't gotten far enough
to try them
and I don't want to waste any more time if they are not going to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
