I work for a county government. We have an Access database with all the valid addresses within our county. We would like to draw and label an irregular area on the map, which would indicate the different districts within the county. Then using VB6 code, identify which district area each address falls into. We have MP2001 and would purchase MP2002 if the territory feature could be used for this. Can you provide any related code samples?

Answer:

Territories can only be aggregates of existing boundaries such as census tracts, counties, etc. You can still do what you are wanting to do using VB code and the AddLine, AddPolyline, etc. functions. MS has some developer samples to be released soon showing how to import mif and shape formats, I know of other companies that have already programmed their own importer. I would recommend getting the demo and then giving it to onw of your developers to research.. it's a little work, but defintely do-able.
