The initial view for a TAB file is stored in the header of the MAP file, but I have no idea how MapInfo decides what it should be, when a TAB file is written.
It would probably not be so difficult to make a small mapbasic application, that updates this info to the current view. I might have a go at it next time it is raining and I have nothing better to do :-) Regards Uffe Kousgaard ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cummings, Mike" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 10:26 PM Subject: MI-L Why is layer opening over LA? I have been working on a Map of California and this is a Friday afternoon type of question. I've tried to pay attention to the map window when I have saved, packed and closed the file; I have made a point of having the bay area in the map window but when I open the file it goes back to Southern California. I just sorted, "saved file as" and opened the new file. I expected to have two files that had the same map view when I opened them. They were different. (both is Southern California) It's Friday and tried of scrolling north every time I open the file. Can someone explain why are these files opening where they are? --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 11426
