Call the Optimize method of the Waypoints collection. This will
create an optimized Route object in the map.

I have MapPoint 2004 and Excel 2000. I have a list of addresses
for a
route in Excel that I want to import into MapPoint and then
optimize
the route stops. I know I can import and show the addresses on
a map,
but how do I optimize them???
thanks for your help,
mak
