    What exactly do you want? Can you give a small example of input and expected output?

    Is that the best detailed example you could come up with?
    What do you expect to input, and what do you expect as output?

    Good source of Google Map info at
    http://www.blog.methodsinexcel.co.uk...ogle-maps-api/

    You may have to adjust some code for Access vba, but it's a good base.

    No , we're not on the same wavelength.

    You submit some parameter to Google Map and it returns something to you that you can store or send as a message.

    Did you look at the info at the site I gave?

    If you give Google Map a Lat/Long, it can give you an approximate address....., but if you're in the middle of the ocean, there "ain't no address".
    Same for a desert etc.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
