Yahoo/Mapquest directions in Access form? (1 Viewer)

[Karjoe]

Hi,
I am not sure if this is possible or not.
Is there is a way to bring up yahoo/mapquest directions based on a client
address in a form. In other words, if the user select a client from the form
and click on the direction botton, the direction to get to the client address
should pop up shwoing the numbers of miles and time to get there.

Thanks in advance.

Yes it's possible.

Here is a sample url. You can adjust as necessary. Here is a complete URL.
http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=N...de=45.271675&longitude=-75.774277&geocode=ZIP

You can use partial parameters such as
http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Nepean&state=ON&country=CA

Here's another with Lat/Long only.
http://www.mapquest.com/maps?latitude=27.271675&longitude=-80.434277


Good luck.

I am not sure what to do with the links you sent me. Can you explain?
