If I understand you correctly, you want to enter an address and then have
PowerPoint display a map of the area?
That is NOT something you would want to try and code yourself. I'd suggest
using one of the internet based or local data base mapping applications and
display it in a web browser or the local application. (Both of which will
require enough VB code to pass parameters.
