Wow! I love it when you talk ~Dummy~ to me. That is exactly what I suspected I just wasn't sure, I appreciate that you explained that to me.
So far I have broke out what I need it to do into steps now its just writing the code for those steps.... 1. In vb I'm going to convert the searched address into geocode. 2. I'll define that geocode 3. Create a SQL datasource 4. Do the Query 5. Output the xml 6. Catch the xml in the javascript 7. Use the same javascript that is provided on the website you gave me to populate the map.
