I have a table that contains a series of geographic locations. Each location has a latitude and longitude associated with it. Is there an ActiveX Control (or any other way) that can take these locations and convert them into another coordinate system?
 
I don't know of any ActiveX controls which do this (even though someone has probably written one, but you could just work out the alogirithm which converts the lat/long of your data to the coord system you use. this could then be attached to a couple of calculated fields in a table, & as soon as any record is viewed, it could calculate the coords (unknown to the user if required)
