Hi List I recently upgraded from MapX3.5.1 to MapX4.0. and then upgraded to 4.01 from the net. My problem is the geodictionary. My application needs to creates a point layer from a MDB table using a mapinfo table as reference layer. both the data & map files are in sub directory - 'Data'. In MapX3.5, I used to copy geodict.dct file to appl. path & set the geodict path from the geodictionary manager. it works fine, creating point layer When I try the same in ver 4.01 to create the pnt layer using bindlayer, I get a error - 'The specified reference layer is not installed in the geodictionary'. I tried copying geodict.dct file in my appl. path; setting the new geodict path from geodictionary manager & registering the map file, but get the same error. Any suggestion ...... I don't have much idea abt the settings of the geodictionary. The online help is not very clear. I would be glad if anyone can explain me abt setting the geodictionary w.r.t having more than one mapx appl. in one standalone system wherein each application have data & maps in their respective sub directories & all the appl. use bindlayer method for creating point layers.
