Excel Maps

[jdkoops]

Hi,

I have been tasked to provide a geographical snapshot of my company's database related to distribution. I used to be able to do this quite easily with Office 2000 by Postal code. Problem is I'm using Office XP now and no longer have this option. Does anyone know how i can do this or through some kind of online tool? anything that you can recommend is very appreciated. Thanks!

MapPoint is nifty, but will cost some more money:

Perfect & Thank you for the links. I also found an easy tool here:

I was able to C&P the postal codes and within a few mins it rendered
quite nicely.

Also just realized on one of my older PC's i still had Office 2000 - so i extracted the DataMap folder from the 'MS Shared' and copied it to my Office 2002/share and voila. Excel 2002 via insert object - Microsoft Map - jfyi.

thanks.
