Google Map for routes

Zigzag · Sep 25, 2009

I have just helped a friend out with changes to a db by adding a web browser to add address and postcodes to google maps and create a route and see if it the route is optimum. (See attached A2003)

Using google maps are the only real use I have found for putting a web browser into MS Access.

Does anyone else use a web browser in Access for any other usefull features?

I use a hidden form with a web browser to do 'screen scraping.' You can load a web site, feed data into its text boxes, click its buttons, read the next page, and so on.
Using these techinques you can automate data collection activities on the web. I have a system that does this for Canadian Postal Codes for valid addresses.

Interesting...
So are your using the web browser as a two way thing, setting the web page up and then collocting the resulting data from the page and loading it into tables?

Do you have an example available to post?

Very good example Garry. Thank you.

On top of this however I need to display positions from a list which is in greek letters. What parameters do I have to add to read these letters? Can anybody help?

Hello!

Although this is a 2 year old thread, it doesn't matter to hope for an answer.

I have the same problem... my addresses are in Greek letters. Is there any way that this can read Greek letters?

Thank you.
