MapPoint 2009 Dataset PushPin amendments

[Chris Johnson]

Hi,

To start off I'm completely new to MapPoint development so please excuse me
for any schoolboy mistakes.

To start with I have created a csv file from a separate database application
(Dynamics Nav) with some address details in. These addresses are delivery
addresses for vans. I am also exporting the van registration number into the
csv too.

I can see how I am able to use the 'Link Data' wizard in order to import the
data into MapPoint and have the PushPins coloured dependant on the van
registration (i.e. addresses for van 1 show as red, for van 2 show in blue).

Does anyone know of any way to amend this data directly from within
MapPoint? I am able to amend the data in the source file and update MapPoint
accordingly but I need to find out if there is another way of going about
this.

This has come about from a request from a customer and I am trying to find
out if this is feasible or not. Any pointers would be welcome.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

Actually you'll want to post Mappoint CD related questions here (this
newsgroup is for the Mappoint Web Service only):
