Shortcut from Contact to Streets & Trips Map?

[Nehmo Sergheyev]

Outlook 2003
Microsoft Streets & Trips 2005
(Also have Microsoft AutoRoute)

In Outlook's contacts, I can get a map of the address by clicking on the
yellow-with-arrow "Display Map of this Address" button and the browser
takes me to the appropriate superpages.com map of the address. But I
have MS Streets & Trips, which makes maps that are better than web-based
maps. Is there any way, from the contact window, I can get the
appropriate map in Streets & Trips displayed? If this can't be done
automatically, what if I open S&T > save a map of the address > then
create a shortcut to the .est file. Is there some way I can execute that
shortcut from the from contact window?

S&T doesn't support Outlook. You can attach images and other attachments to
the Notes field and double click to open.

By default, Outlook uses Mappoint, which are exactly the same maps that S&T
uses.

- Nehmo –
Not quite the same. I can edit the S&T maps to some extent, and I can
manipulate them, pan, for example, faster. But yes, they both appear to
use the same maps.

And S&T doesn't include the com addin required to integrate with outlook...
and not all S&T owners own (or can afford) Mapppoint.

A lot of programs use the same basic mapping data... there are like 3
companies that license it to map makers.

At this time we don't know what key to use with Outlook 2003 to avoid
crashing.
