Robert,

You have access to everything that the MapPoint ActiveX
provides and there are no gotcha's that I have seen after
working with it daily for over 2 years.

Set up public boolean variables to turn on and off within the
Events because the app expects to complete it's own operations
in a timely fashion - you must not interfere with them - but that
is the same in any programming environment that you put it in.
