Hi Bill, I remember having a similar issue a while a go, besides turning fastedit off, make sure there aren't any fields indexed. This should speed up the processing and may prevent the crash as well (by reducing the file size limit)

By doing so, your processing will become even faster. Nobody on the list has ever reported being able to recover TMA, TDA and TIN files, so I guess you are out of luck. The crash occurs because you have hit the 2 GB file limit.

As an aside, the object model was changed in MapInfo 5.5 and later, to check for "bad data", which obviously slows things down now. This should maybe a "checkcbox option" in future versions for people who are processing files of hundreds of megabytes size. Anyway, back to this query. As luck would have it, 21 hours later, I recieved an error message which caused MapInfo to crash. I now have a set of the TMA, TDA and TIN files (of 2.2 Gb size!). Can I retrieve this portion of the processed data? I checked the list archives, and there were several queries on this, but no solution. Thanks again, Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14673 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14676 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14687
