Mappoint 2009 Europe MapPointControl.ocx

I have an old legacy VB6 app that I support, which uses the MapPointControl.ocx. Customers are saying it doesnt work with Mappoint 2009.

Having Googled, it would appear the European addition of Mappoint shipped with a bad OCX file on it. Apparently this has now been sorted on the latest CDs, but that doesnt help my customers who are still moaning.

Is this true? Do I just need a replacement .OCX, and if so where from? Microsofts site is unhelpful.

Solution

  • No first hand information, but I "binged" Microsoft and found this post that suggests that using the mappointcontrol.ocx from the North American edition will fix your problem.

    Hope this fixes it for you.
