About mapping data with the MapPoint object model

One of the most important features of Microsoft MapPoint is its ability to display data on a map. The data that can be displayed includes demographic data that is shipped with MapPoint and data from user source files in such programs as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, or Microsoft Outlook. All data in MapPoint automation is represented by the DataSet object. The way that data is displayed on a map is represented by the DataMap object.
