Add a point event layer to ArcMap

Description:
This VBA code demonstrates how to create a RouteEventSource object,
which is a 'Dynamic' feature class. This feature class is then added to ArcMap
as a layer.
Products:
ArcEditor: VBA
Platforms: Windows
Minimum ArcGIS Release: 9.0

How to use:
1. Add a route (PolyLineM) layer to ArcMap called 'roads_route_hwy' (or
change the code accordingly).
2. Add a table called 'accident' to ArcMap (or change the code
accordingly).
3. Change the code to fit your data.
4. Paste the code into VBA.
5. Run the code.
