Use postcode field to display a map...

[digitaljunkie]

Hi I am playing around with the web viewer and wondered if it's possible to display a map say from streetmap, multimap and the like based on what UK Postcode is used in a PostCode field?

If it is may I ask for an example or even dare to ask exactly how?

Hope that makes sense.

Just have a look at the web viewer example that came with 8.5. One of the examples is for maps.

In layout mode, add a web viewer; in the web viewer setup choose the Google maps uk site, and assign the postal code field from your datebase to the p code in the viewer. You're done!

Heres what ive done, using an open url script with a calc paste the code below(replace post code with your post code field) - job done

"http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&db=pc&cidr_client=none〈=&pc="

& Post Code &

"&advanced=&client=public&addr2=&quicksearch="

& Contact Management::Current Post Code C &

"&addr3=&addr1="

Ignore the above saw you were using version 7 in your sig. not version 8.5
