European Mappoint 2002
I would like to know how to update the Postcodes in the mapping software when the Post Office change the postcode or is there a better way to map the customers onto a map.
Answer:
You can't change the underlying data in MapPoint. The best way to map customers would be to find the address (with the FindResults method in code or the Find box in the user interface) which would not require a postal code. You could then get a lat/lon for the point which you could store in a database for mapping the point in the future.
See Gilles Kohl's geocoding article for code to get lat/lon from a MapPoint Location object.
