If you're used to VBA, you shouldn't have any problem to use MapX in Access. The only thing you have to do is create a MapX control on your form and then use the properties and methods from MapX. Something really useful is to have the MapX model on your wall, to keep an eye on all those properties you don't always think about. -- Jean-Christophe Lacaze GIS Manager DRAF Auvergne France E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 10024
