'the variable named "Plot"
Set Plot = mvApp.Documents.Add(DocType:=mvDocPlot)
'Defines the variables for a post map
Dim Variables(1 To 1) As Long
Variables(1) = 2
'Creates a PostData object and assigns it
'to the variable named "PostMap"
Set PostMap = Plot.CreatePostMap( Variables, BoundaryFileName:= _
InPath + "us50alb.gsb", DataFileName:=InPath$ + "us502010.dat", _
BoundaryFileOptions:= "SecondaryIDField=2, Attribute1Field=1", _
PIDCol:=1 )
