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.

Answer:

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.
