Can I download map from address entered in Microsoft Access?

[Guest]

I am creating a database at work and have a question as to whether Access can
download a map from the address entered into a form. For example, a
dispatcher types in job information for a construction company and when he
goes to print out the jobs for the next day (work orders), does Access have a
map type add-in that can be printed out as well? If so, how can I go about
doing it?

There's nothing like that built-in to Access, but you could do something
with Access and MapPoint. Here are some relevant resources ...

If you want to call the web service from Access, you'll also need the Office
Web Service Toolkit ...
