[AccessD] Access Address to Map in Browser

William

I have a jobs database that creates automatic hyperlinked command buttons
with specific labels that can go to a map system (I think it's Yahoo, not
Mapquest, but the theory is the same) and to the local weather for that
address.

I will post the code in about an hour or so, after my client meeting this
morning.

Regards,
Bob Gajewski

...in Outlook, I can  open a map of a contact's address in a browser
directly from Outlook as follows:

a) select Contacts on the Outlook Bar or in the folder list.
b) select contact whose address I want to locate.
c) File/Open/Selected Items.
d) Under the Address button, click the arrow, and then click the type of
address I want to find on the map (Business/Home/Other).
e) Actions/Display Map of Address.

...my browser opens to Find a Map at mappoint.msn.com with a push-pin
marking the location of the address.

...has anyone done anything like this via code from Access? ...without using
Outlook?
