I just downloaded the SQL add in for MS Mappoint, and I'm trying to create a view. I have a bunch of locations stored as LocID (Ident/Key), Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Zip3, Country, Longitude, Latitude.

How do I manually create a view so that I can use that view to create a layer? I tried selecting my locations table in the SQL add in, but it doesn't seem to recognize it as a valid view.

  • I don't use the add-in and prefer to use MapPoint's Data Import Wizard, but as a general rule it is much better to use the longitude,latitude coordinate for locating and ignore the address (except for display) - the coordinate will be much more reliable and faster than geocoding with every update. – winwaed Jul 27 '11 at 20:51
  • That's what I've been using, however, we're trying to use this add-in to allow for the future scripting via C++. I'm just trying to get to know the add-in a little so I know how things need to be formatted. – Dexter Jul 27 '11 at 21:34
