mapping add-in

Does anyone know of a free add-in that will allow me to create a map from
some data that I've entered?

Excel 2000 has that feature in it

Can you elaborate? I have Excel 2003 on my machine, so I'm guessing that it
would be included with the newer version, too... any help on how to access
the mapping feature? THANKS!

Hi,

Map point *was* a free add-in in version xl2000.

Nowadays it is a separate package that requires an addtional licence and
therefore fee.

MapPoint was not the add-in, it is a product which MS bought and MSMap add
in was deprecated. It is much superior to the old 'version' and mapping is
much more detailed.

Use it all the time for order mapping on a postcode layer in MapPoint, but
as you say, it IS a separate product

The mapping feature was removed after Excel 2000, that was why I said it was
in Excel 2000.

Guess too many people found it useful so Micro$oft thought they would try
and make more money, which I believe didn't work out as they had planned.

Sorry bout that
