I’m looking for help on developing a MS Access form that has Google Maps

  • 0

I’m looking for help on developing a MS Access form that has Google Maps integrated so that our drivers can look up a stop and know exactly where it is based on the Google Map.

I have wireframed (basic mockup) it like this:
map

So my question is, how can I make the right side of the screen (map), populate based on the information on the left? Do I need to pass values? Additionally, can the map auto generate, or would the user have to click a button to make that map appear?

The button “DIRECTIONS FROM SEARS TOWER” is just a filler, and would be a button for where our location is. I’m envisioning that opening as an another window.

Thoughts? Thanks again StackExchange 😀

    Your comments above show you are well on the way to solving this one. Google maps uses + signs as replacements for spaces. The youtube video link you provides shows a nice builder for the hyperlink. A more generic solution would be to set the Browser ‘Control Source’ field to:

    ="https://maps.google.com/maps?" & Replace([Address],' ','+') & ",+" & Replace([City],' ','+') & ",+" & Replace([State],' ','+') & ",+" & [Zip]
