What are the grid coordinates at top left and bottom right corners. Does the
meridian intersect, Europe so I guess it does, at what distance from the
left, as a fraction of the total width (ie a decimal between 0 & 1).

What is width & height of the image (get from properties).

Double check that coord's along the centre and vertical lines are as you
would expect (ie the scales linear).

Peter,

Thanks for the reply that helps a lot just a couple of things I can't
figure
out and that has mostly to do with the co-ordinates;

I've got a map, from google earth, and I'm using co-ordinates in degrees,
minutes (so 51 08N21 47E, etc etc), and I can't get the right co-ordinates
to
be displayed on my map.

If I reach the top of my map one of the values states zero, but it should
state 51 degrees 08 minutes North instead of zero.

Could you help me?

Cheers,

Paul

Indeed you can embed a an image into the entire form or probably better
into
an Image control. Click the "Picture" property and browse to your image.

Set AutoSize to true and experiment with PictureSizeMode. Maybe later you
can change Autosize to false.

In the form code (assuming the image control is named Image1)

Private Sub Image1_MouseDown(ByVal Button As Integer, _
ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
Range("A1").Value = X
Range("B1").Value = Y
End Sub

Private Sub Image1_MouseMove(ByVal Button As Integer, _
ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)

Me.Caption = X & " " & Y
End Sub


You will of course need to calibrate X & Y to relate to your map
coordinates. Assuming the Grid is linear in both axes (don't assume it
is),
maybe something like this

With Image1
east = (.Width / X) x (maxEast - minEast)
north = (.Height/ Y) x (maxNorth - minNorth)
End With

where max/min East/north are grid coord's at left, right top & bottom of
the
map

Hi,

Is it possible to embed a map into a userform? What I'm trying to
accomplish
is that a map, lets say europe, is displayed and everytime when the
user
clicks on the map the lat/long coordinates of the pointer are
transferred
to
an excel sheet.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Paul
