Runtime Error 424 when embedding MapInfo map in Access form
MrChimp
I'm kind of new to VB and DAO so please bear with me on this!
I am trying to embed a simple MapInfo map in an Access form based on
the code provided in the MapInfo user guide. It seems I've fallen at
the first hurdle. So far I have this:
Dim mi As Object
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Set mi = CreateObject("MapInfo.Application")
MsgBox (mi)
mi.do "Set Application Window " & Form1.Hwnd
mi.do "Set Next Document Parent " & Form1.Hwnd & " Style 1"
mi.do "Open Table ""World"" Interactive Map From World"
mi.RunMenuCommand 1702
mi.do "Create Menu ""MapperShortcut"" ID 17 As ""(-"" "
End Sub
I am getting runtime error 424: "object required" on this line: 'mi.do
"Set Application Window " & Form1.Hwnd'
The MsgBox outputs "MapInfo Professional" which leads me to believe
that the CreateObject command has worked successfully.
However if I comment out the problem line I get the same error on the
next line. Therefore I assume that the mi variable isn't correctly set
up.
Can anybody shed any light on this?
Are there any good resources on line for MapInfo integrated mapping?
Thanks in advance!

I just tested this myself and got the same error. Then I noticed that
under the MS Access Class Objects list (usually top left pane in the
Visual Basic window) my 'Form1' was actually called 'Form_Form1'. Try
using that instead; worked for me!
