Map and location listing

[dmkennard2]

I have a map of Europe on a report as a linked picture.

Is it possible to run a query for certain locations held in the database and list each location in a text box and place the text box on the correct location on the map?

I have a link in the table for each location that goes to Multimap for direction instructions. I would also like users to be able to click a location to take them to link stored in the database.

Thanks in advance.

it's possible but not easy and will require a lot of maintainance...

you would have to give each location some sort of coordinates and then map those coordinates to the particular map you're linking to...

it might be possible for you to get the lat and long of these locations, and the lat and long of one corner of the map, then you can have a formula to move the textboxes to the right places based on the scaling of the map and the locations...

I dont mind moving the text boxes manually, but i cant seem to get 10 text boxes to show different records on one page.
All i get is 10 text boxes with the same record on 10 different pages!
