    How are the points stored? If they are simply pairs of (X, Y), just sort using the Pythagorean theorem and take the one with the shortest distance. – Adam Matan Aug 29 '10 at 10:02

Id advise searching the archvied ESRI forums as this will have been asked before.

eg1 eg2 = You should be able to pinch some code from the snippets found there to at least get you started.

  • this would be a better answer if it included one such example snippet or conversation. We can't rely on links to external sites to remain intact, and if/when it does change this answer will become wrong. – matt wilkie Aug 30 '10 at 19:04

Take a look at the IProximityOperator or the IIndexQuery.

Assuming you have an ArcInfo license, have you tried calling the Near tool within your script? It sounds a lot like what you're after.
