Thanks for all those who responded to my question.
The original question was:

"I have a point shapefile generated from a batch geocode process on an
address file. If I zoom to a specified area, is there any mo method I can
use to kick pack only those point in my map control i.e. I want to get all
the addresses in my view and not all the addresses in my shapefile."

Create a new MO Rectangle.  Set its extent equal to the current map
extent.  Select those that mointersect with the rectangle.  That should
return a recordset with the cases you want.
If you are using MO2, there is an intersect method, in which you can use the
mapextent as the area:

Dim shapefinal ,shape2 as mapobjects2.points
Dim shape2 mapobjects2.rectangle

Set shape1 = map1.extent
Set shape2 = map1.layers("POINTSCOVERAGE")

Set shapefinal = shape1.Intersect(shape2)

Dim rs as mapobjects2.recordset
Set rs = Map1.Layers("POINTSCOVERAGE ").SearchShape(shape1,
moEdgeTouchOrAreaIntersect, "")
