Hi Dennis, The way that I have done this type of thing in the past was to start the Mapquest program then enter the parameters and after bring it on the screen I would copy the URL and past into the Web Page program. http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Milan&state=MI &address=210+E+Michigan+Ave&zipcode=48160-1367&country=US &latitude=42.08938&longitude=-83.67975&geocode=ADDRESS To break this statement down we have: 1. The program to be called = http://www.mapquest.com/maps 2. parameter 1 name is ?city= 3. parameter 1 value is Milan 4. parameter 2 name is &state= 5. parameter 2 value is MI While you create the HTML program using HTML table code the end user does not see fields on the screen. Therefore you will need to hard code the program name and variable names and values in each of your statement. Since I don't know where your mapping program is located (on the Web or on your home computer) I don't know how well this type of code will work. I haven't been keeping up with current HTML coding changes and there may be easier ways but this is the concept of passing variable data between programs. But this should be a starting point for you. If you have any more questions I will try to answer.

I have another program that takes Lat. and Long. and produces a map marking the location with the name of the cemetery. I would like to allow a user to click on the name of the cemetery and have the map appear. Basically it would link the data from the cemetery table and put it in the map program. I am not a programmer but could struggle through this if someone could give me some ideas as to how the map program could pull the data from the table. My site is http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vapwcgs/. The cemetery table is under the "Our Projects" tab, then "Cemeteries" then "Prince William Cemeteries". Denny W.
