How do I get updatelink to work? I have an access database where I have inserted the MP control which opens a predefined map. I want to be able to update the map when the user clicks on the button that opens the map, but I can't quite figure out how to make the updatelink work.

Thanks.

Adapted from MapPoint VB Help:

Sub UpdateLinksOnMap()

Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application

Dim objDataSet As MapPoint.DataSet

objApp.Visible = True

objApp.UserControl = True



'Replace "Linked Data" with your linked pushpin set name.

Set objDataSet = objApp.ActiveMap.DataSets("Linked Data")

objDataSet.UpdateLink

End Sub




This assumes that the map data was originally created through the Link Wizard. Hope this helps.
