I would say whatever tool best suits your current skills. Are you a programmer? Check out Mappoint http://www.microsoft.com/mappoint/default.mspx although this maybe much more than you need.

Well the link that you gave as an example used Macromedia Flash to do the animation and the mouseover type of information. You could use an html map function to create a map on an image,it might allow you to put a mouseover type of event in, but it has been a while since I have done that. You could make evach state into an image in the application and then just use the custom drawing routines on CP to draw them for each state. Is this a web app or a Windows App? Steve Maier, MCSD MCAD

Well you could use a flash plugin (OCX) in your application and then let the flash coding do all of the highlighting and animation. You could also make a custom drawn image or button that has the correct shape as each state, but that is alot of manual work. Steve Maier, MCSD MCAD
