I doubt you can get this to work, but I could be wrong. Perhaps you can get map images from the web based on a user input or something?
rexb,
Can you be a little more specific with a few details.
Is this "map of a vacinity" going to be a static map of a specific area?
How do you plan to determine what records need to be shown?
If you can provide a little more info I would hope we could help.

It's going to be a static map. My idea is to display the map and when somebody would click on a certain location and that location has a building. It would display information regarding the building which I have on my database.
You can place the static map on your form. Make it so that users cannot cange the size of that contorl. Then you can create either labels (they have a click event) or command buttons (set properties for these to where you can see through them by setting the background to transparent) and then code each button to display the desired information.

Image files, like labels, have an on-click event also. You could go so far as to use an image program to take your image and save it into separate image files, so that you could put it back together on your form like a jig-saw puzzle, and each piece of the whole image has an on-click event behind it to do what you want.

I have Access 2000 and Mapinfo 8.5.
I would like create an interactive map (maybe on a form) where users can choose what to display on the map, Schools, Hospitals Ect. from a drop down box
I have all the Geo data to create what I need in Map info, but I want to use Access to roll it out interactively.....
any ideas?
