I would like to store an origin and a destination address in my MS Access database and use the Mappoint object model to fill in a field with the distance between the two addresses. The user doing the dataentry should not see mappoint working in the background. thanks!

Answer:

This is definitely feasible. You would need to write a program that feeds the two address pairs to MapPoint and ask it to calculate the distance between them. This can be either a straight line offset or a driving distance or a driving time. The program can then store this number back in the database.
