Hi, Can you shed a little more light on this. Specifically where is the Microsoft Map manager's data list, is this a dialog box at install, or something you can add to from the menu? I know you should be able to import a MapInfo file into Excel, as it is in the Excel Map data help (There is actually a link from the help file to MapInfo), however it does not give specifics on what format the file should be in *.mif - *.tab, or how to get in to display? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks, Cn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------- yes you can. You need to prepare your zipcode table in mapinfo and then add it to the microsoft map manager's data list. After that you will be able to use it in excel with thematic zipcode columns. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2000 2:00 PM Subject: MI Can map be embedded in Excel 97 and linked? > Need to create a map on an Excel 97 spreadsheet that is linked to the > data on the sheet.
