There's a neat little mbx that might help. It provides a tool button (a
floating eye icon), that will zoom to the location of a table selection in
the map window.
For your case, if you queried the census track, then hit the icon, it would
zoom to the census location, provided you had a map window containing the
layer open. It should be available on the free tools listing ... whatever
site their posting them on now.
Good luck.

Subject: Re: MI Zooming in to a selection
I've never found a command to do this either. I think its been on the
Wish List. The only way I know how to do it is cumbersome. Add the
query to the mapping layer then go to Map ---> View Entire Layer and
select the query as the layer you want to zoom to. Hope this helps
