Hi Stephen, What I really want to do is to create a URL which takes you to Bing Maps and has the map reference i.e. Latitude and Longitude in the URL so that the default browse opens up zoomed into the location supplied. David Crozier supplied a demo of an application that used Virtual Earth to display the map of your choice using and I.E. activeX on a VFP form. This no longer works at least on any of my computers with a browser error coming up. I presume this is because Virtual Earth has been superseded by Bing Maps. One of my employees has written a VFP application for use by his relatives to create a family tree. He wants to give them the option of being able to bring up a browser with the last know location for the relative showing. Currently he has a text box with the Latitude and Longitude in it (this is saved in a table). Double clicking on the text box copies it to the clipboard and then opens Bing maps with the world showing. He then pastes the map reference into the location box on the Bing page and it zooms to the correct location.
