>I can't seem to find much detailed information about mappoint automation from Foxpro.

The neat thing is that you don't have to. The VBA commands that automate MapPoint translate almost directly into Fox commands, with some minor differences (such as named parameters). If you can figure out how to do it in VB, it's a short step to VFP, and we can help with the conversion.

I'm not sure how to do the specific thing you asked: I'll play with it later, but someone else here might have better experience?
