Morning all Unfortunately I have access dataset has been modified by others without regard to the mapping component. Now when I try to open the mapping front-end this error message is displayed. "Microsoft Access Error: Microsoft jet database engine could not find object 'floodgate maintenance protocols' . make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and path correctly. Unable to open table floodgate_maintenance_protocol." 1) Is there away to fool mapinfo into opening a map table without the dbase back end but preserving the X/Y info 2) Is there a way of striping the x,y data from the tab/dat/map/id files Ps part of the modification/destruction of the dbase is the removal of the easting / northing fields... the addition of new fields, the change of dbase name and table name. Any suggestion would be welcome... and please make it simple - as the dbase operator who's fixing this hasn't had any experience with mapping..... tab definition !table !version 410 !charset WindowsLatin1 Definition Table File "maintenance_flood_gates.mdb" Type ACCESS TABLE "Floodgate maintenance protocols" Charset "WindowsLatin1" Fields 12 Location Char (80) ; point_data Integer ; Description Char (50) ; Excavator Char (25) ; postionexcavator Char (25) ; Marine_Veg Char (25) ; Terrestrial_Veg Char (25) ; Excavated_sed Char (25) ; Sed_Fence Char (25) ; AMG66_Easting Char (50) ; AMG66_Northing Char (50) ; Structure_Type Char (50) ;
