Display Google Maps in Reports

[Dr Steevil]

Hello all,

I have a customer service database. I have designed a form with the usual
information on my customers and in the corner I have a Web browser object
that shows their location in Google Maps (. This works perfectly and I have
a button which when clicked will print the Web browser object.

What I want to do however is have this map print directly on my service
order tickets. I've tried putting the web browser object in the report and
setting it up the same way as I've done on the form, but this doesn't seem to
work (probably some form of gross conceptual error on my part ).

Is this even possible and if so how would I go about it?

FYI: The Google Maps Web Browser object is a Class Module I found (can't
remember where) that displays the map only, i.e. not the other stuff you'd
find if you went to www.maps.google.com in Internet Explorer et al).

Bumping this. I posted late last night so I'm not sure anyone even saw this.
Can someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Hi there,

just wondering if you ever discovered how to do this? I'm stuck in the exact same situation - I got the map and correct location to appear in a form but not within a report.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer

Possibly you can print from the web browser control?

As a guess I would think you would need to download the image and embed it
into the report at runtime.
Haven't ever done anything like that in Access but it might be possible?
Here's some articles that might help?

Sorry if none of these help much.
