  • Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows

In a Visual Basic for Applications macro, the Data Map object is limited to a single command, RefreshMap. The RefreshMap command updates a Data Map object in a Microsoft Excel worksheet. The following examples illustrate how you would use the RefreshMap command in a macro: 

   ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("Picture 1").Object.Refreshmap

   -or-

   ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("Object 1").Object.Refreshmap
In these examples, "Picture 1" and "Object 1" are the names of Data Map objects. To determine the name of a Data Map object, click the object once and then look in the Name box (below the File menu and to the left of the formula bar).
