"Display Map of Address"

[Rita Stefanski]

I am using Outlook 2000 SR-1. When I select "Display Map
of Address" icon on my tool it takes me
to "office.mircrosoft.com" instead of "mapquest". Where
are the parameters for changing this command?

Diane,

I read your excellent article on your site.
Do you know of any "insertion code" to use for house number?
I live in Norway, and we have several excellent online map sources, that
also covers house numbers.
I can lookup "Street", "housenumber" and "city", and the map sites show me
an exact location.
I live here (syntax example, URL propably wrapped?):
http://www.gulesider.no/gsi/map.do?...e=7&ps=Stavanger&place=&municipality=&x=0&y=0

In Norway we enter the house number following the street name on the same
line, separated by a <space>. Outlook doesn't seem to account for this, the
house number should have had a separate database record (?) I guess...

Have you found a way to do this in Office 2003?

Regards,
JT Solem

if the site requires the street name and number separately, I have no
idea... if they accept it as one field (parsing it on their end), then it
should work even though the US address format is backwards.

Otherwise, you'd definitely need some other way (using VBA) of parsing the
url and passing it to the map site.

At this time, I'm not aware of how to use alternate maps in Outlook 2003 -
it doesn't like the registry key at all. <g>
