Embed kml in MS Access form

I've gotten a Google Earth web page to embed in MS Access with the browser control, but what I'd really like to do is embed a local kml file on a form in Access.  Is there anyway to do this?

How are you doing this?

I know you can display Google maps (a web address) in the browser control,..
I don't know how you might display Google Earth (an Application) in a web browser control though...?


AFAIK, a KMZ file is not really a "webLink"
You have placemarks in Google Earth that you can "save As" KMZ files to disk.
Web opened, these files Open Google earth and navigate to the specified location...

So in your case, I am not sure what you might need to do...

Why are you not launching Google Earth directly?
Then you could probably just put the link on the form and do something like this:

Application.FollowHyperlink "C:\Yourfolder\Untitled Placemark.kmz"
