To open a specific location or pin on Google Maps within an MS Access program, you can use the Shell function or the WebBrowser control. Here's a general approach using the WebBrowser control:
Set up the WebBrowser control properties:
Create a function or event handler to dynamically generate the Google Maps URL for the desired location and update the WebBrowser control's Source property with the URL.
Here's an example VBA code snippet that opens Google Maps with a pinned location based on latitude and longitude values:
Private Sub OpenGoogleMaps() Dim lat As String Dim lon As String Dim url As String ' Define the latitude and longitude values for the location lat = "40.712776" lon = "-74.005974" ' Construct the Google Maps URL with the latitude and longitude parameters url = "https://www.google.com/maps?q=" & lat & "," & lon ' Update the WebBrowser control's Source property with the URL Me.WebBrowser1.Source = url End Sub
Remember to adapt the code to fit your specific requirements, such as retrieving the latitude and longitude values from an MS Access table or form field.
Note: The WebBrowser control may have limitations and behavior differences depending on the version of MS Access you are using and the system configuration.
