    Sub CopyDirectionToClipboard()


  Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
  Dim objMap As MapPoint.Map
  Dim objRoute As MapPoint.Route


  'Set up the application
  Set objMap = objApp.ActiveMap
  Set objRoute = objMap.ActiveRoute
  objApp.Visible = True
  objApp.UserControl = True


  'Add two waypoints and calculate
  objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Seattle, WA").Item(1)
  objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Redmond, WA").Item(1)
  objRoute.Calculate


  'Copy the directions to the Clipboard for use elsewhere
  objMap.CopyDirections
  MsgBox "Directions copied to the Clipboard."
