Hi List! I thought should share with you a most useful method on creating workspaces. Forgive me if some find it obvious, it wasn't for me.
The problem is this: During work on a complicated map design, one tends to open lots of tab-files, try out different sub-selects, copy mapper windows for testing different styles and so on. In a final stage, I want to clean up the workspace and close unused tables, queries, discarded map and layout windows and so on. But I have more than once mistakenly closed crucial tables, or laboriously created mapper windows in this process, for which there is no undo function (frequent workspace saving is recommended). Solution: Once you have arrived at the final stage, open another instance of MapInfo. Then use the handle/suitcase tool and drag the windows you want to keep from the workshop instance to the pristine one. Then save the workspace from there. This will clean out tab-files and stuff that is open but not in use. But any queries in use will be retained. Caveat: If you *need* such open tabs for some reason, you will have to re-open them.
