Hi Michael,
Don't know the answer to this one (I didn't know there was a Mapinfo Server
mode!) but try opening up some of the .wor files in a text editor like
notepad and see what is going on. The .wor will show the paths to the tables
being opened: perhaps Mapinfo on the server is saving the paths as local
(eg. C:\) and the client PC's need the paths as they are mapped by the
network script (F:\ G:\ etc)?
If this is the problem, you could use a global find-and-replace tool like
Search-plus (TM) ( www.spatialplus.com) <http://www.spatialplus.com)> to
replace the local mapping with scripted mapping, or you could use Universal
Naming Convention (UNC) for the paths but that is another story...

Subject: MI Accessing Workspaces served by an NT Version 5.5
Hello,
I'm having a problem. When I access my Workspaces that I have saved on my
NT Server 4.0 with MI 5.5 running in server mode, they are not showing up on
the client machines attached to the network without recreating each one. I
have 1 client attached which runs MI 4.5 on a Win 98.
I have saved my workspaces on the NT server using 5.5.
When I access them from the client I have to recreate each workspace and
save it from the client machine to be able to access it as a whole
workspace.
When I go back to the server to look at them I have to repeate the same
process and rebuild each work space which eliminates the ability for me to
go and see them on the client machine.
Is there away to avoid this irritating process? I have 1000's of workspaces
created on the server that I would have to do this to each time I moved from
the server to the
client to access them.
I also want to access this MI data from other clients attached to the
network as we add user machines to it.
